India beat Bangladesh in the third and final T20I in Nagpur on Sunday to win the series 2-1. Shreyas Iyer (62) and KL Rahul (52) were the stars with the bat for India, while Deepak Chahar took figures of 6/7. For Bangladesh, Mohammad Naim (81) was the lone crusader.

6-7, including a hat-trick. These are i credible stats. Deepak Chahar will never forget this day!

As it’s turned out, excellent all round performance by India. Deepak Chahar undoubtedly the hero, but important knocks from Rahul and Iyer which put Bangladesh under pressure. And superbly led by Rohit Sharma. Well played!👏👏

In the end, it looked like an easy victory for India but Bangladesh did scare us! Many positives from this #INDvBAN match. #ShreyasIyer most important. @ImRo45 captaincy was spot on too. With an inexperienced attack, he handled his resources admirably.

Very impressed with the way @deepak_chahar9 has evolved as a T20I bowler. Always had the ability to pick up wickets with the new ball but has worked hard to bowl in the middle and end overs. Got a lot of variations up his sleeves & knows when to use them. #INDvsBAN

Special word of praise for Deepak Chahar! Taking hatrick in any format is a big thing but a Six in the innings by ball is incredible. #chahar
