The Narendra Modi Stadium witnessed a breathtaking display of power-hitting from Hardik Pandya during the fifth T20I against South Africa. Pandya achieved the second-fastest half-century for India in T20 international cricket, reaching the milestone in an electrifying 16 balls. This rapid-fire innings places him firmly in the record books, second only to Yuvraj Singh’s legendary 12-ball fifty. Pandya’s aggressive batting dominated the opposition bowlers and set a new benchmark, surpassing Abhishek Sharma’s previous record of 17 balls. His explosive performance underscores his valuable contribution to the Indian batting lineup.
