Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal claimed six wickets to demolish England and hand India a 75-run series-clinching win in the third and final Twenty20I in Bangalore on Wednesday.

Chahal recorded his T20 best of 6-25 to help skittle out England for 127 in 16.3 overs. The visitors, chasing 203, lost eight wickets for eight runs in the space of 18 deliveries.

23-year-old Chahal became only the second bowler in T20 cricket to get six wickets in an innings after Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews achieved the feat twice.

The attacking spinner started England's batting rot in the 14th over of the innings, getting dangermen Joe Root (42) and skipper Eoin Morgan (40) on consecutive deliveries to derail the tourists' chase. Root and Morgan had kept the chase alive with their 64-run third-wicket stand but the innings fell apart after their departure.

Chahal got three wickets in his fourth over to rip through the England middle and lower order as India won the series 2-1.

Earlier scintillating half-centuries from Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni helped set up the win as India posted 202 for six after being put into bat.
