Why did Varun Chakraborty not play in the match against Afghanistan? BCCI replied

BCCI on Varun Chakravarthy: The Indian cricket team is playing its third match against Afghanistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup Super 12. India’s mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty did not find a place in the playing XI in this match being played at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Since then everyone is trying to know why Varun was dropped from the team. Meanwhile, the Cricket Board of India (BCCI) itself has given its answer.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in its statement, “Varun Chakraborty has a calf injury on his left leg. That is why he is not part of the team in the match against Afghanistan.” Let us inform that Chakraborty could not take a single wicket in two matches of the T20 World Cup. He was unlikely to get a place in the playing XI even if he was not injured, as the batsmen of both the Pakistan and New Zealand teams did not face any problem in facing him.
