Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh made a memorable comeback as aIndia relied on a clinical all-round performance to thrash defending championsEngland by a whopping 90-run margin in their final group league match of theICC World Twenty20 here on Sunday.
Put into bat, India posted a challenging 170 for four,riding on a superb unbeaten 55 from under-fire Rohit Sharma and usefulcontributions from Gautam Gambhir (45) and Virat Kohli (40).
The two comeback men -- Harbhajan and Piyush Chawla -- thenspun a web around the England batsmen to bowl them out for a paltry 80 in 14.4overs as they accounted six wickets for 25 runs in the eight overs betweenthem.
Harbhajan had splendid figures of 4/12 with twowicket-maiden overs as England batsmen were totally clueless against the duo.
This was India's biggest victory margin in terms of runs inany Twenty20 Internationals.
Playing his first international match in more than a year,Harbhajan got the ball to turn appreciably and also found the zip of the pitch.The off-breaks were turning viciously and the straighter one was equallylethal.
He bowled Eoin Morgan with a superb arm-ball and then gotTim Bresnan to sweep against the turn. Jose Butler got a classical off-breakfrom the feisty off-spinner while Graeme Swann had no clue about the straighterone.
Chawla, who had figures of 2/13, got rid of JonathanBairstow with a superb googly while Craig Keiswetter who was top scorer with 35could not read his leg-break.
Earlier, Rohit finally came good in an international matchas he planned his innings to perfection, hitting an unbeaten 55 off 33 ballswith five fours and a slashed six off Jade Dernbach.
