Sachin Tendulkar Posts Special Message For Deepak Chahar After His Sensational Bowling Against Bangladesh

Team India, on Sunday, thrashed Bangladesh by 30 runs in the third and final T20I to seal the three-match series 2-1. The main architect of the win was fast-bowler Deepak Chahar. The right-arm pacer registered world-record figures of 6 wickets for just 7 runs to help India bounce back from a tough spot to bowl out the visitors for just 144. He also became the first Indian to take a hat-trick in T20Is.

India needed a solid start with the ball on a good batting pitch after scoring 174 and Deepak Chahar duly obliged. In his very first over of the match, he dismissed Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar in consecutive deliveries to dent the visitors. Skipper Rohit Sharma then pulled the pacer out of attack for the business end of the match.

And with Chahar not bowling, Mohammad Naim and Mohammad Mithun put Bangladesh on the front foot with a 98-run stand. With nothing working out, Rohit recalled Chahar and he made an immediate impact by dismissing Mithun. After his first two overs, Chahar’s figures read an astonishing 2-0-3-3. Shivam Dube then accounted for Mushfiqur Rahim, Naim and Afif Hossain to all but seal the game.

Chahar then made the game memorable by taking the last three wickets on as many balls. He dismissed Shafiul Islam on the final ball of the 18th over before dismissing Mustafizur Rahman and Aminul Islam on the first two balls of the 20th over to complete a sensational hat-trick.

And as soon as the game ended, legendary Sachin Tendulkar took to Twitter to lavish praise on Chahar. The former India batsman also had some words of praise for Dube, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul as he wrote:

“Exceptional bowling by @deepak_chahar9! He bowled very smartly and used his variations well to pick up crucial wickets at crucial stages. Special mention to @IamShivamDube, @ShreyasIyer15 & @klrahul11 to give #TeamIndia the series victory in the decider. #INDvsBAN”
