It may not be to everyone’s taste, but Varun Chakravarthy’s performance on the biggest stage of cricket after a hiatus of nearly three years may be appealing. His three-wicket haul is all the more impressive when you realize that he was heading the spin-bowling department and that he was also hit for fifteen runs in his opening over of the game.
Only Chakravarthy, though, chose to disclose a significant technical improvement he made to his bowling because only he was aware of the tremendous amount of labor that went into his performance.
“I used to bowl with side spin, but I’ve totally switched to bowling with over spin now. Even though it’s a tiny technical detail in spin bowling, it took me almost two years to master it. I tested it progressively in both the IPL and the TNPL.
I had to focus on my mental side as well, but my technical side took up the most of my effort,” Varun Chakravarthy said, as reported by India Today.
Jaker Ali, Rishad Hossain, and Towhid Hridoy were the victims of Chakravarthy. Arshdeep Singh also took three wickets for the Indian team during a sparing stretch of bowling that saw India limit Bangladesh to just 127 in the first innings. He wasn’t the only bowler to bag three wickets for the Indian side.
What makes side-spin different from over-spin?
The ball’s impact both on and off the pitch is the main distinction between side-spin and over-spin.
The ball rotates at an angle to the direction of rotation if it is side-spun. On the other hand, a delivery that has either top or over spin on it is defined as the ball spinning forward in the batter’s path.

The ball gets over-spin due to a phenomenon known as the Magnus Effect, which causes it to bounce higher off the pitch and dip sharply as it approaches the hitter, often tricking him or her on a strike.
