Chakravarthy missed out on the world record of picking the most wickets in a Bilateral T20I series, the record which still belongs to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/jason-holder\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason Holder<\/a>, who took 15 wickets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chakravarthy has been added to the Indian ODI squad for the series against England which many believe was a much-needed move considering his form in the shortest format and his exploits in the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pietersen feels that England batters will be able to do better against the mystery spinner in the ODIs. &#8220;The English batters would be better against him in the one-dayers because they can spend more time. It&#8217;s a longer format, not every ball is an event. But I think it is a great decision (to add Chakravarthy),&#8221; Pietersen told media in Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harshit Rana&#8217;s like-for-like replacement move for Shivam Dube decisive factor in the series, Pietersen feels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the England great Pietersen feels that the move to bring fast-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana in for batting all-rounder Shivam Dube in the fourth T20I in Pune was a decisive factor in the series.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a disappointing series from England&#8217;s perspective. I think that in the fourth T20I, if the concussion substitution had been done correctly, maybe England would have got up there,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would have been 2-2 coming to the Wankhede (Stadium for final T20I). It would have been way more on the game. But it didn&#8217;t happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pietersen also heaped praise on Abhishek Sharma, stating that he has shades of Yuvraj Singh. &#8220;Abishek is amazing. He had the shades (of Yuvraj). Obviously, Yuvraj is rubbing off now on Abishek. His batting was fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt was the best T20 international innings, I&#8217;ve ever seen and I said that to him afterwards,\u201d Pietersen said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/kevin-pietersen-feels-england-batters-will-do-better-against-varun-chakravarthy-in-odis-2025-02-04-974663\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY Varun Chakravarthy spun a web to spin England out.
