On Sunday, team India and Bangladesh faced in the final game of the three-match T20I series. The Indian team batted first and posted 174-5 in 20 overs after Shreyas Iyer’s blitzkrieg 62 not out from just 33 balls. In response, the visitors run-chase derailed in their final five overs as they lost a flurry of wickets after the dismissal of their top-scoring Mohammad Naim. Indian pacer Deepak Chahar registered best-ever bowling figures in T20 internationals with 6-7 from 3.2 overs. The 27-year old also accounted for the final three Bangladeshi wickets with a hat-trick. In doing so, Chahar became the first-ever Indian male cricketer to achieve this feat in T20Is. The two teams will now face each other in the upcoming Ganguly-Durjoy Test series starting from November 14 onwards.
