Young leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal scripted a dramatic collapse with incredible figures of 6 for 25 as England lost 8 wickets for a mere 8 runs with India winning the 3rd<\/sup> T20 International by a whopping 75 runs thereby winning the series 2-1. As a full-time captain, Kohli recorded series wins against England across all formats, writes B.D.

This was after he removed opener Sam Billings in the second over of the England innings.<\/p>\n Joe Root (42) and Eoin Morgan (40) had raised visions of a series win with 64-run stand for the 3rd<\/sup> wicket.<\/p>\n But the 14th<\/sup> over turned out to be a turning point as Chahal removed Root and Morgan off successive deliveries.<\/p>\n Morgan attempted a slog sweep and was smartly caught by debutant Rishabh Pant in the deep. Root, who had crossed over, was out next ball trying to pull a straighter one as England slumped to 119 for 4.<\/p>\n Jos Buttler\u2019s wild slog was pouched by Kohli in the next over off Bumrah and England were all but out of the match.<\/p>\n It became worse when Chahal came for his final and the 16th<\/sup> over of the innings. Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali and Chris Jordan threw their wickets as the run-rate was climbing steeply.<\/p>\n Bumrah finished the formality in the very next over as India completed another emphatic series win under \u2018Captain Inspirational\u2019 Kohli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" India’s Yezuvendra Chahal celebrates the wicket of Joe Root during the 3rd T20 between India and England at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Feb. 1.
