The second match of the ODI series being played between India and England proved to be special for spinner Varun Chakraborty. A few days ago, Varun, who won the team badly in his spin trap in the T20 series against England, got a chance to debut in ODI cricket along with this match. Varun did not even disappoint because he improved one such mistake of his own teammate, which could have caused a big loss of Team India. These players are Akshar Patel, who dropped an easy catch of England opener Phil Salt.

In Cuttack on Sunday, February 9, in the second match of the ODI series, England team came out for the first batting.

Like the first match, this time too, his start was strong. This time Ben Docket attacked and was targeting the Indian bowlers fiercely. On the other hand, Phil Salt, who was batting in the last match, was struggling in playing openly. In such a situation, he tried to increase the pace of runs and in this effort he also gave Team India a chance.

This is the sixth over when Hardik Pandya was bowling. On one of his short pitch balls, Salt made an upper cut but instead of going for 6 runs, the ball went towards Akshar Patel, posted at deep point.

A very easy catch came to the letter, in which he did not need to run nor to put any dive. He was standing in his place and the ball was coming directly into his hands. Just probably here the letters became a little careless and the ball fell from his hands.

Phil Soult was able to score only 6 runs at that time and the team's score was also 43 runs. But this one catch gave him a life and then he also hit a six in Hardik's next over. This could have proved to be a big threat to Team India. But here Varun Chakraborty did wonders. This spinner forced Salt to play a big shot again in his second over and once again his shot was not correct.

But this time Ravindra Jadeja made no mistake in taking the catch. Salt could add only 20 runs in his score and was dismissed by 26 runs. Also, Varun took his first wicket in ODI cricket.
