England's T20I side's vice-captain, Harry Brook, was dismissed via the same mode in the ongoing third T20I of the five-match series against India. This time around, it was Ravi Bishnoi who claimed Brook's wicket at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.
Batting in the 13th over against the leg-spinner, all the 25year-old could manage was drag a delivery well outside the line of the off stump. Looking to fetch the ball from way outside for a sweep, Brook got too close to the pitch of the delivery. However, he ended up underedging the ball onto the stumps.
Notably, this was Bishnoi's first wicket of the series. Earlier in the series, Harry Brook had been rolled over by Varun Chakravarthy in Kolkata and Chennai, respectively. Interestingly, later on after the conclusion of the game in the series opener, he stated that due to smog, England batters along with him were unable to watch the ball properly. But the batting woes for English side continued ahead in the series, irrespective of Brook's excuse.

Chakravarthy's wizardry proves too much for England
At the time of writing, Chakravarthy completed his allotted quota of four overs. In an outstanding display of spin bowling, he recorded five of the best wickets. The mystery spinner concluded his evening with a fantastic five-wicket haul, his second in T20Is. Chakravarthy's first in the format for India was against South Africa in November last year.

On the other hand, it was an off day for Bishnoi other than the aforementioned dismissal of Brook. He was dispatched for two fours and five maximums, conceding 46 runs in his four overs. However, a good bowling display by the Indian bowlers in the middle overs, restricted England to 171/9. As a result, the hosts require 172 runs to clinch the 20-over leg of the white-ball series. Earlier in the day, skipper, Suryakumar Yadav, won the toss and opted to bowl first. The big news for the evening was the international comeback of Mohammed Shami after a lengthy 14-month period.
