In the second T20I on January 23 in Raipur, Varun Chakaravarthy dazzled again by taking down Kiwi opener Tim Seifert for 24 runs off 13 balls. His sneaky googly led to a catch by Ishan Kishan, and earlier, he also dismissed Tim Robinson. India won the first match by 48 runs and now leads the series 1-0, continuing their dominance over New Zealand since 2019.
