Varun Chakravarthy Ruled Out of Afghanistan T20Is Due to Injury, Asian Games DoubtfulPreviousNext

India spinner Varun Chakravarthy has been ruled out of the remaining two T20Is against Afghanistan due to a side strain sustained after the series opener at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The injury also casts doubt on his participation in the upcoming Asian Games. Chakravarthy had recently returned from a hamstring injury and undergone rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. His recurring injuries have raised concerns about injury management. India leads the three-match series 1-0.
