Hardik Pandya Becomes 3rd Indian to Claim 100 T20I Wickets: In the ongoing third T20 International match against South Africa at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has achieved a major milestone, making history. He has completed 100 wickets in T20 International cricket and joined a special elite list.

The Golden Moment of the 100th Wicket

After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, Hardik Pandya came on to bowl the 7th over of South Africa’s innings for Team India. With his tight bowling, he dismissed the in-form and dangerous-looking batsman Tristan Stubbs for a personal score of 9 runs, caught by wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma.

With this achievement, Hardik Pandya has become the third Indian bowler to take 100 wickets in T20 International cricket. This reflects the consistency and capability of his all-round performance. Before Pandya, two other Indian bowlers have achieved this feat:

• Arshdeep Singh
• Jasprit Bumrah

Interestingly, Jasprit Bumrah also achieved this milestone in the first match of the current South Africa T20 series, and now Hardik has also joined the same exclusive list. Hardik Pandya’s achievement is a milestone for Indian cricket and demonstrates how important he is to the team in the limited-overs format.
