During the third game of the five-match T20I series between India and South Africa at Dharamsala on Sunday (December 14) night, Indian right-arm pacer Hardik Pandya completed his 100th T20I wicket and created history for India. 

While South Africa were already under pressure after losing the toss and batting at 25/3 at the end of the powerplay, Hardik got his first wicket of the match in his first over, which was just after the powerplay.

It was the back-of-length seam up delivery, where Tristan Stubbs had an edge, and the wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma comfortably grabbed that opportunity, which was the 100th T20I wicket for Hardik Pandya. With that wicket, Hardik became the third Indian bowler to record 100 T20I wickets.
