England lost eight wickets for eight runs in just 19 balls and suffered a 75-run loss in the third T20I against India at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Wednesday.
The win saw India taking the series 2-1 after having lost the first match.
The star for the hosts was definitely leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal who picked up six wickets for 25 runs, the best-ever bowling figures by an Indian in a T20I.
Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni made important contributions with the bat as both notched up half-centuries.
Indian legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman and others took to Twitter to congratulate India on the win while English fast bowler Stuart Broad came up with a tongue-in-cheek comment, tweeting that he preferred Australia’s collapse at Trent Bridge in 2015.

On the bright side, Yuzi Chahal is old school - loves the game, loves a laugh (may enjoy a beverage) and is 8 stone wet through. Top lad!

What a collapse this. That catch on the boundary by @ImRaina was top-class. Brilliant balance and awareness.#INDvENG
