Yuzvendra Chahal Create history

He becomes the first Indian bowler to pick up a five-wicket-haul in T20Is for India. Picks up Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes in one over. And if that wasn't enough, adds a sixth next ball to send England crashing at 127/8.

So that concludes the long tour of England in India. The hosts dominated the Test series and won it 4-0! The ODIs were a different story as it was an evenly fought contest which again was won by the home side 2-1! Then came the T20Is which went down to the wire after being leveled at 1-1. The Indians saved the best for the last and won the T20I series as well. England would be disappointed with the series loss but would look to take the positives from it going on to West Indies for an ODI series which will start on 3rd of March. India on the other hand, full of confidence, will be playing Bangladesh for a one-off Test in Hyderabad on 9th February. yuzvendra is first indian bow;er who took 6 wickets in t20 inter nation and highest wicket taker in bangalore cricket stadium.he took 36 wickets 

RAJESH SAWANT DEATH REMAINS A MYSTERY

                                  Shocking Day for U-19 Indian Cricket Team History

Rajesh Sawant, India's Under-19 strength and conditioning trainer, was found dead in his hotel room in Mumbai early on Sunday (January 29). He is reported to have suffered a heart attack and passed away in his sleep.

When Sawant didn't turn up for the training in the morning, members of the team went searching for him and was found dead in his room.

Sawant, who had worked with various age-group teams of Mumbai Cricket Association, had also gone to serve the Afghanistan national team during Lalchand Rajput's tenure as coach. In recent times, he was with the India A side that played against England and also with the Rest of India during the Irani Cup.

MATHEW WADE MISSED DEBUT CAPTAINCY CHANCE DUE TO HIS BACK INJURY

An eleventh hour injury has ruled out captain Matthew Wade of the opening Chappell-Hadlee Trophy match in Auckland, with Aaron Finch called up to lead Australia.

"Matthew injured his back at the end of Sunday's training session and, with the short turnaround between then and the start of this match, he was not fit enough for today as, when we checked him out this morning, he was unable to perform at the appropriate level," said Cricket Australia Chief Medical Officer Doctor John Orchard.

"We will make a decision on his availability for Thursday's match in Napier in due course but at this stage our expectation is that this is a short-term injury."

Wade, understandably gutted, acknowledged it was hugely disappointing to miss the clash. "I'm hugely disappointed but after getting checked out this morning I knew I would not be able to play," he said. "I wish Aaron all the best as captain in my absence and I'm delighted for Sam Heazlett, making his international debut."

After the first game, the teams will travel to Napier and Hamilton for the remaining two games.

JASPRIT BUMRAH AND ASHISH NEHRA GAVE A THRILLING WIN TO TEAM INDIA IN 2nd T20

Kohli lauded his bowling attack, especially pace duo of Nehra and Bumrah who were instrumental in securing the win for the hosts.

With England needing eight runs off the last over, Bumrah dished out an excellent effort and conceded just two runs and also picked up two wickets to seal the match for India.

Virat Kohli and Anil Kumble would be very happy. First time in this series, bowlers have won the game for India. At on stage, England was running away with it but Ashish Nehra scripted an inspirational comeback finishing with the figures of 28/3 from his 4 overs while Jasprit Bumrah took it to the climax and finished with the figures of 20/2.
