Tail-ender Deepak Chahar, who recently brought India back from the dead with a steely 69 off 82 balls in the second ODI against Sri Lanka, is a man of many talents.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India took to social media on Thursday to share a video of Chahar playing the guitar and singing a medley of Bollywood classics.

In the second ODI against Sri Lanka, chasing 276, India were down and out at 193 for seven before Chahar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (19 not out off 28) forged an unbeaten 84-run stand to seal a memorable win for the visitors who extended their record of not losing an ODI on Sri Lanka soil since 2012.

A struggling Sri Lankan outfit badly needed a morale-boosting win but has only itself to blame for not finishing the job from a commanding position.

Chahar, whose highest score before this game was 12, showed remarkable resolve and composure under pressure to take his team over the line with five balls to spare. He fittingly hit the winning boundary. --with PTI
