India could have have asked for a better finish to this long tour against England. A series winning win against England in the final T20I that helped the hosts win the series 2-1. But it was possible only after a record bowling effort from Yuzvender Chahal who took six wickets, the first Indian bowler to take five or more wickets in a T20I match. England lost their last 8 wickets for 8 runs. This was after a good stand between Joe Root and Eoin Morgan and England looked like on course to win the match. Earlier, MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina blasted half-centuries and Yuvraj Singh hit 27 off 10 balls to help India post a total off 202 for 6 in Bangalore.
