Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal claimed six wickets to demolish England and hand India a 75-run series-clinching win in the third and final Twenty20 international in Bangalore on Wednesday.
The youngster recorded his T20 best of 6-25 to help skittle out England for 127 in 16.3 overs. The visitors, chasing 203, lost eight wickets for eight runs in the space of 18 deliveries in a shocking collapse.
The win meant India won the T20, ODI and Test series against England as Virat Kohli’s captaincy era in all formats began in style,
And here’s how Twitter reacted to the wins – with Chahal’s performance being the cherry on the cake.
