He further said, “After the 2021 T20 World Cup, I started getting threatening calls even before I landed in India. He said that if I try to come to India, I will not be able to come. They also detected my house and similar things. While coming from the airport, I saw that people were following me on the bike. But I think fans are very emotional, ”

But since then, Chakraborty has proved himself in the last two seasons of the IPL and with a strong performance in the domestic circuit. After this, I got a chance to return to Team India. Along with the great performance in T20I, the Indian team also selected him for the Champions Trophy in a 50-over format where he also performed well. Playing just three matches, he jointly became the second highest wicket -taking bowler in the tournament with 9 wickets and gave India the third title.
