Thanks to Rohit Sharma’s spectacular century, India defeated England by seven wickets in the third and final T20 at Bristol on Sunday, 8 July, and sealed the series 2-1.

Here’s a look at the records, milestones and trivia from the high-scoring match:

  • India handed a T20I debut to Deepak Chahar; the 25-year old Rajasthan pacer, who was the highest wicket-taker in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2018-19, became the 76th player to represent India in T20Is.
  • MS Dhoni became the first player to pouch 5 catches in an innings in T20 Internationals. With his first catch – that resulted in the dismissal of Jason Roy, he also became the first wicket-keeper to pouch 50 catches in T20Is.
