List of records Deepak Chahar created with his 6-wicket haul against Bangladesh in Nagpur T20I

India clinched the 3-match T20I series against Bangladesh thanks to a special effort from pacer Deepak Chahar. The 27-year-old took six wickets for just seven runs in his 3.2 overs as he took wickets every time he was brought into the attack and finished the game with a hat-trick. The Indian bowlers struggled to hold the wet ball and conceded way too many boundaries. However, Chahar’s breakthroughs saw Bangladesh’s chase going wayward and India sealing a 30-run win.
