Varun was the only Indian bowler to claim a five‑wicket haul in T20Is during 2025. Against England in Rajkot, he delivered a spell of 5‑24. Jos Buttler was caught behind attempting a reverse, Jamie Smith holed out to deep midwicket, and Jamie Overton was bowled first ball. Brydon Carse and Jofra Archer also fell, completing a memorable five‑fer. Despite his brilliance, India fell short in their chase of 172.
