Varun Chakaravarthy Aims to Break Kuldeep Yadav's Record in India vs Australia T20I
Imagine a cricket game where players try to get other players out by catching the ball after they hit it.
Varun Chakaravarthy, a spinner for India, is very close to getting his 50th player out in T20 games.
He has already gotten 45 players out in 28 games.
If he gets 5 more players out in the next game against Australia, he will be the fastest Indian player ever to reach 50 outs.
He could break the record that another player named Kuldeep Yadav has.
Another star player, Jasprit Bumrah, is also very close to a big achievement.
He might become the first Indian player to get 100 players out in all three kinds of cricket games.
The next game is in a place called Brisbane.
Varun Chakaravarthy needs 5 wickets in the 5th T20I against Australia to become the fastest Indian bowler to reach 50 T20I wickets.
The current record for the fastest Indian to 50 T20I wickets is held by Kuldeep Yadav, who achieved it in 30 matches.
Chakaravarthy currently has 45 wickets in 28 T20I matches.
Jasprit Bumrah is on the verge of becoming the first Indian bowler to take 100 wickets across all three formats of the game.
The 5th T20I between India and Australia will be played at The Gabba in Brisbane.
