India did the incredible for a three-wicket win over Sri Lanka to clinch the three-match ODI series here on Tuesday. The hero of the night was No. 8 batsman Deepak Chahar. Better known for his seam bowling, Chahar whacked an unbeaten 69 off 82 balls for India to get over the line. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was at the other end with a 28-ball 19.

India, chasing 276 for victory floundered despite good contributions from Krunal Pandya (35) and Suryakumar Yadav (53). Earlier, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal led India’s decent effort with the ball as a self-destructing Sri Lanka slipped to 275-9. Pretty much like the series opener, most of the Sri Lankan batsmen got starts but failed to capitalise after the hosts opted to bat.
