Chahar was quite admirable in the way he adjusted his bowling to conditions that were tough for bowlers owing to the dew factor. And he was justly rewarded for his wholehearted effort - a hat-trick and a world record, best-ever figure in the shortest format of the game. MyKhel takes a closer look.

Medium pacer Chahar jettisoned Shafiul Islam in the last ball of the 18th over and then returned to give marching orders to Mustafizur Rahman and Aminul Islam in the first two balls of the 20th over to complete the hat-trick. His 6/7 is now the best-ever figure in the shortest format of cricket.

Ajantha Mendis, the Sri Lankan mystery spinner, took this haul against Zimbabwe in an ICC World T20 match at Hambantota that the Lankans won easily.

After Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni went hammer and tongs, India posted a healthy 202 for 6. But the M Chinnaswamy stadium has always been a batting paradise and England had enough firepower in their batting to make a first of the chase. After all they had Eoin Morgan, Jason Roy, Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Sam Billings in their ranks. But Chahal came and picked up 6 wickets for 25 runs to run through the English line-up. The visitors were bundled out for 127 as India emerged a comfortable 75-run winner.

And only Kane Williamson managed to touch double figures with a 42.
