England -127, India -202/6, India vs England, 3rd T20, Bengaluru: Yuzvendra Chahal picks 6 wickets, India win the series 2-1


India win the match by 75 runs, win the series 2-1.

England has been bowled out for 127, the last 8 wickets fell for just 8 runs, this is unbelievable. This is only the 3rd time a spinner has picked 6 wickets in a T20, on both the previous occasions it was Ajantha Mendis from Sri Lanka who did it. He has been awarded with ‘Man of the Match’ and ‘Man of the Series Award’.

India and Virat Kohli must be proud of this performance. People will talk about MS Dhoni’s half-century, they will talk about Suresh Raina’s knock, Yuzvendra Chahal will make a lot of headlines but it was Yuvraj Singh and Amit Mishra were the ‘Dark Knights’ of India’s win. Yuvraj’s cameo in the end made the difference between a good and strong total and Mishra’s over built pressure which led to a flurry of wrong strokes.

England would be highly disappointed, they were highly competitive throughout the series, in fact till the 12th over of the second innings but lost their way from there. Next up, are the IPL auctions to be held on 4th Februray, do join us for all the live updates.

A much improved effort from Indian batsmen. After losing Virat Kohli early, Suresh Raina and KL Rahul took the responsibility and added 61 runs for the second wicket. Rahul looked set for another big knock but got out to a poor stroke. Dhoni walked in ahead of Yuvraj Singh and continued the good work with Raina who raced his way to 63 runs from 45 balls.
