At one stage, India needed 83 runs to win and had just three wickets in hand. Sri Lanka were all over them and had almost sealed a win and a comeback into the series. However, Deepak Chahar turned the game on its head.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, too, was determined to stay at the crease and rotate the strike with Chahar. He expressed his happiness after the game and praised Deepak Chahar for his brilliant innings. He said:

"The kind of position that we were in, it was a great feeling to win the game from that position. Especially Deepak Chahar fittingly hit the winning runs, because he was the one who single-handedly turned the game in our favour."

Deepak Chahar was also delighted that he won the game for India and especially because he batted well under pressure. He asserted:

"It was great fun. We won the game and after fielding of 50 overs I batted for 25 overs so I am really happy."
