What was meant to be a thriller of a match, was made into one of India's easiest T20I wins over England, courtesy this man - Yuzvendra Chahal.

The series was hanging at 1-1 going into the decider, and India posted 202/6 after a strong display by veterans Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, and Yuvraj Singh. What came in the 2nd innings shocked one and all, of course, with happiness if you're an Indian.

England had gained momentum at the right time and were 117-2 after 13 overs and that's when a thunder in the form of Chahal struck them. Next 21 balls: 10 runs and 7 WICKETS! Who would have imagined such a collapse? 5 of those 7 were dismissed by Chahal who ended up with 6 wickets as he became the first Indian bowler to take a 5-fer in a T20I match.

The Bangalore pitch is of course very well familiar to Chahal and he made full use of those conditions to make merry of the English players. Jasprit Bumrah finished off with 3 wickets to give India the win.

This win gave India it's yet another T20I series victory and the first for Virat Kohli as a captain.

Surprised to see Chahal at No.3 in this list? Well, we've got explanations. Jump over to the next slide.
