India debería utilizar la experiencia Eden de Varun Chakravarthy entre IND y ENG 1st T20I, abandonar Bishnoi.

India cricket team should use the services of spinner Varun Chakravarthy over Ravi Bishnoi in IND vs ENG 1st T20I. Not only is the Tamil Nadu spinner more experienced than young Bishnoi but he has spent years playing at the Eden Gardens, the home of his IPL side Kolkata Knight Riders. While Chakravarthy is no stranger to functioning under Gautam Gambhir, he will have an upper hand in Kolkata, given his vast experience of bowling at the venue and his knack for taking wickets there.

Chakravarthy > Bishnoi for IND vs ENG 1st T20I

When it comes to T20Is, Bishnoi has played more than double the matches that Chakravarthy has so far. The former has tasted more success in terms of bagging wickets, with 56 scalps to his name. This makes him India’s first-choice spinner in the shortest format of the game. However, Chakravarthy’s knowledge of how to function at Eden Gardens is a crucial differentiator that warrants for his inclusion in the XI over Bishnoi for IND vs ENG 1st T20I.

Having spent five seasons with KKR, Chakravarthy has 83 wickets to his name in IPL and has been one of their most consistent wicket-takers. Across the years, he has taken 12 wickets in Kolkata. While both Bishnoi and Chakravarthy are leg-break bowlers, India have plenty of games left in the series to field the former where he can taste more success.

Another reason to field Chakravarthy is the fact that he has been included in India’s Champions Trophy squad. With the Tamil Nadu spinner not expected to play all five T20Is, it would be wise for India to give him some game time, especially at the Eden Gardens, to get him warmed-up for the marquee event.
