Hardikpandya sets new record 26 runs in an over in 3rd test vs Srilanka

Hardik Pandya slams 26runs in an over off pushpakamara's one over during the second day of third test in pallekele on Sunday.  He was a few steps short of the world record by just three runs. However he sets a new milestone of most number of runs scored by an Indian in one over in test cricket.

 Hardik Pandya blasted his way to a maiden test century  on Sunday when he reached the three figures mark off only 86balls on the second day.  He became the quickest Indian to score a century batting at no. 8  in the longest format.

Pandya who made his debut in the opening test at Galle that began on Wednesday, smashed eight fours and seven sixes in his blitzkrief as India were bowled out for 487. He had started his test career with a bang smashing 70 on his debut innings in first match which India won by a whopping 304 runs.

He reached his half century with a single off 61balls but changed the gears once India lost their ninth wicket at 421. He took on mahindrapushpakamar  and smashed him for 2fours and 3 sixes in an over.

The all-rounder was also involved in two crucial fifty-plus partnerships.
