XtraTime Web Desk: India medium pacer Deepak Chahar seem to do nothing wrong these days. After his record-breaking T20I bowling (3.2-7-6) against Bangladesh in the 3rd T20I at Nagpur on Sunday, Chahar once again hit the headlines on Tuesday by claiming another hat-trick in Syed Mustaq Ali Trophy.

In the rain-hit contest between Rajasthan and Vidarbha, Chahar scalped four wickets including a hat-trick. Due to the bowling effort of Rajasthan captain, Vidarbha was restricted to 99/9 in 13 overs at Greenfields Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. But in-spite of a brilliant bowling spell, Chahar could not stop Vidarbha from winning the hum-dinger by one run.

The right-arm seamer dismantled Vidarbha’s lower order to complete his hattrick in the final over of the innings. He removed Darshan Nalkande on the fourth delivery and bowled an extra (possibly a wide ball in the consecutive delivery.) However, in the final two balls of the innings, Chahar removed Shrikant Wagh and Akshay Wadkar, while ending his spell with clinical figures. The 27-year-old gave just 18 runs in his three overs.

Earlier on Sunday, Chahar guided India to a brilliant 30-run win over Bangladesh to help the Men In Blue wrap the three-match series 2-1. Chahar eventually ended up with the figures of 6/7 – the best figures recorded in T20I history. Chahar removed Aminul Islam, Shafiul Islam, and Mustafizur Rahman to complete his maiden hat-trick.

In the course, he also became the first Indian to complete a hat-trick in T20Is and also broke Sri Lanka’s Ajantha Mendis record of 6/8 to achieve the best figures in the shortest format of the game.
