Hardik Pandya smashed his way into the record books as he notched up a landmark 100 sixes in T20 Internationals during the first T20I against South Africa in Cuttack on Tuesday.
Playing in his 121st match, Pandya becomes only the fourth Indian to complete a century of sixes in T20 Internationals.
He brought up the record during his blistering match-winning knock of 59 from 28 balls in the series opener. Coming into bat when India were reeling at 78/4, the all-rounder launched a brilliant counter-attack, hitting six fours and four sixes, to power the hosts to a healthy 175/6.
Rohit Sharma holds the world record for most sixes in T20 Internationals with a massive 205 sixes in 159
