You win some, you lose some, that is the saying about sports. But players, who play the sport know how hard it is to accept defeat. Players play to win and give their 100 per cent each time. But sometimes a defeat hurts a little more, especially when it is lost by a small margin. Team India lost the 3rd ODI after reaching so close to the target. Team India needed 6 runs in the final over but the wicket of Yuzvendra Chahal shattered the dream.
The defeat was hurtful for Indian fans but it seems Deepak Chahar was deeply affected by it. The pacer played a brilliant knock and kept Team India in the hunt. He was dismissed in the penultimate over when India needed 10 from 18 deliveries.
