"Faf's wicket was the best as he was playing with small forward-steps and I was drifting the ball really well. The previous two balls, I had bowled him leg spin. So on that ball, I chose to bowl on an angle so the ball drifts and hit the off stump. He couldn't pick it, he thought it was a leg spin, and that's why the ball hit the inside of his bat and hit the stumps," Chahal said in a video posted by Bcci.tv.
Rohit Sharma who also displayed an impeccable performance with the bat and scored a century to help team India chase down a target of 228. Rohit Sharma remained not out and played a knock of 122 runs of 144 balls.
