With this, Hardik has now become the first fast bowling all-rounder in the world, who has scored more than 1000 runs in T20I and has also taken 100 wickets. Earlier, Shakib Al Hasan, Mohammad Nabi and Sikandar Raza have achieved this feat, but none of these fast bowlers is an all-rounder.

Earlier, Pandya had also completed a century of 100 sixes in T20 International cricket, and now with 100 wickets, he has become the first Indian player to take 100 wickets and 100 sixes. Let us tell you, Hardik's batting has also been amazing. He has scored more than 1900 runs in T20Is and his strike rate has always been excellent. With his powerful hitting he changes the course of the match in a moment.
