On Tuesday, Chopra retweeted this 2010 tweet of his and commented that "it has aged well." This was, of course, in reference to Deepak Chahar's series-winning performance in the final India-Bangladesh T20I. The medium-pacer recorded figures of 6/7 which are the best figures by any bowler in a T20I match, ever. He was very instrumental in India going on to win the match and the series. He was declared the Player of the Match for his performance. Legendary cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar also tweeted about Chahar's contribution to the Indian team. Chahar also went on to take another hat-trick for Rajasthan against Vidarbha in their Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 game on Tuesday.
