Tim David Smiles as Varun Chakravarthy Bails Out in 2nd T20I
During the second T20 International held at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Australia's powerful batter Tim David and India's leg-spinner Varun Chakravarthy shared a humorous moment. As Chakravarthy approached to bowl, David playfully pulled away, prompting the spinner to back off just before delivering the ball, which amused commentators.
Incident Details
The episode occurred in the ninth over when Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav handed the ball to Chakravarthy for his third over. After Josh Inglis took a single on the first ball, the Indians set a short leg fielder, Tilak Varma, to apply pressure on the new batter David.

"The mini-drama began then as the batter pulled away, and Chakravarthy also backed down from delivering the ball."
