Ace spinner Varun Chakaravarthy dismissed Bangladesh middle-order batter Shamim Hossain to help India dominate the opponents in the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 match in Dubai on Wednesday, September 24. The leg-spinner dismissed Shamim for a three-ball duck as Bangladesh continued to lose wickets at regular intervals.

The dismissal came in the 11th over of Bangladesh’s run chase. Varun bowled a fuller-length ball on the middle stump, and Shamim backed away while trying to play an inside-out shot. The left-handed batter missed the line of the ball altogether as the ball sneaked past the outside edge before flattening the leg stump. There were subdued celebrations from Varun after taking the wicket.
