Excitement builds for Thursday’s T20 World Cup semi-final at Wankhede Stadium, pitting India against England. India’s mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy stands on the brink of glory.
With 12 wickets in 7 matches, he’s primed for the top spot. Two wickets in the semi would give him 14, edging out the competition. Super 8 wasn’t his best—3 wickets in 3—but England has been his hunting ground: 14 dismissals in 5 games, including a five-for.
Adil Rashid poses a threat with 11 wickets and a strong record against India (14 in 18). As frontrunners from exited teams hold steady—van Schalkwyk (13/4), Muzarabani (13/6), Ngidi (12/7)—Chakravarthy and Rashid vie for supremacy alongside Ravindra’s 11.
This matchup isn’t just about semi-final progression; it’s a personal summit for bowlers chasing immortality in the tournament’s wicket charts.
