Anjali Chand replicates Deepak Chahar, claims 6-0 to create T20I world record

Last month, Indian pacer Deepak Chahar scripted history with a cracking spell 6-7 in 3.2 overs against Bangladesh in a T20 international. Chahar broke into record books as his match-winning spell was the best-ever figures recorded by any men’s cricketer in T20Is.
