Chahal TV: Shreyas Iyer pulls off his bag of tricks in this segment

'Chahal TV' is a segment hosted by the leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal where the star performers get to make an appearance for an interview with Chahal. After India had sealed the series by registering a 30-run win over Bangladesh at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur on Sunday, Yuzvendra Chahal got the privilege of interviewing not one but two star performers of the contest. They were Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar.

Shreyas Iyer shows his magic tricks on Chahal TV

Shreyas Iyer had starred with the bat by scoring a vital 62. His standout moment was hitting three sixes in three balls. Whereas, Deepak Chahar's 6/7 derailed the Bangladesh innings to set up a win for India. During the interview, Chahar said that he had no clue about the hat-trick as he had taken a wicket off the last ball of his previous over before taking two consecutive wickets in the final over. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer said that he should be given the credit for Chahar's fifth wicket.

''You should give me credit for your fifth wicket because I had taken the fifth catch", said Iyer.

Chahal then asked Shreyas Iyer whether he was aiming for six sixes to which Iyer admitted that he was indeed aiming for that.

 ''I was aiming to hit six sixes but the bowler bowled a wide yorker. I knew that he was going to bowl that but nothing could have been done in that situation. Any batsman would have aimed for six sixes after having hit three."

 The segment ended with Shreyas Iyer's bag of tricks when he asked both Chahal and Chahar to pull out a card from the pack and himself had pulled out one as well. Coincidentally, all three of them had the similar numbers on their cards i.e. 'Six'. 

The video of this segment was posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on their official Twitter handle. Watch it right here.

India seal the series 

After being put to bat by Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah Riyad, the visitors got off to a good start as Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was dismissed early. His opening partner Shikhar Dhawan did not last for too long either. Youngsters KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer then took the initiative as both scored half-centuries. Rahul scored a superb 35-ball 52 at a strike rate of 148.57 while Iyer played a stellar cameo of 33-ball 62 including three boundaries and five maximums at a strike rate of 187.88 as India got to a good total of 174/5 in 20 overs. 

In reply, Bangladesh were reduced to 12/2 but Mohammad Naim and Mohammad Mithun fought back for the visitors with a 98-run stand for the third wicket. With Naim well set, Bangladesh seemed to be cruising and were in the driver's seat but, he did not get much support from the other hand. In the end, the pressure of the required run rate got the better of him as he was bowled by Shivam Dube for a spectacular 48-ball 81 at a strike rate of 168.75 including 10 fours and two sixes. The other batsmen could not do much and Bangladesh were eventually bundled out for 144 in the final over.
