Deepak Chahar blew away the Bangladesh batting order in the third T20I to hand India a 2-1 series win at the VCA Stadium here on Sunday. With the visitors chasing a target of 175, the 27-year-old Rajasthan seamer bagged 6 wickets for just 7 runs, including a hat-trick, from 3.2 overs to return with the best ever figures in the history of T20 internationals, surpassing the previous record held by Sri Lanka’s Ajantha Mendis who scalped 6/8 against Zimbabwe in 2012.

Earlier, propelled by a quickfire fifty from Shreyas Iyer, India end up with 174 for 5 in their 20 overs in the series decider. Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul set the foundation after which Shreyas Iyer changed the course in the middle overs and Manish Pandey provided the finishing touches.

Chahar who won both Man of the match and Man of the series awards, dismissed Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar upfront before breaking a 98-run stand between Mohammad Naim and Mohammad Mithun that had put Bangladesh in cruise mode. He then wiped out the tail with a hat-trick, the first by an Indian male cricketer, and 12th overall, in T20 internationals.

On seeing his post from his brother, Malti Chahar who rose to fame through her presence in the matches of IPL has posted a heart melting message for her brother.
