AHMEDABAD: With six wickets in three innings, spinner Varun Chakravarthy is India's top bowler in the T20I series against South Africa and will be going into the fifth and final match of the series in Ahmedabad in high spirits, hoping to help the hosts win by a wider margin. The mystery spinner said he wants to create pressure on himself to prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
India lead the series 2-1 after the fourth match was abandoned with a ball being bowled because of fog, and will be trying for a 3-1 margin at the Narendra Modi Stadium. South Africa, on their part, will be hoping to square the five-match series 2-2 in the clash between the top two sides from the 2024 T20 World Cup.
The fifth and final T20I in Ahmedabad offers India a chance to close out a challenging South Africa tour on a high, and Chakravarthy is aiming to contribute to achieving that target.
