Following his impressive run, the leggie was even selected in the Indian T20I team for the three-match series against Australia.

Nevertheless, his blitzes in the IPL 2020 earned him a lot of fans who have flooded social media with congratulatory wishes.

Meanwhile, T Natarajan replaced Chakravarthy in the T20I series and grabbed the opportunity with both ends. The left-arm pacer took six wickets in three T20Is, playing a crucial role in guiding India to a 2-1 triumph.

Although Chakravarthy missed out on his maiden call-up, he's still in India's scheme of things for the 2021 T20 World Cup which will take place in India. IPL 2021- which is expected to take place in March – holds great significance for Chakravarthy as an impressive performance could seal his place in the national team.
