Hardik Pandya is playing for India in the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4s match against Pakistan on Sunday, September 21. In the match taking place at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, he opened his wicket account by dismissing Fakhar Zaman on the third ball of the second over. The left-handed batter was caught behind by Sanju Samson after scoring 15 runs from 9 balls. The wicket of Fakhar helped Hardik enter his name in the history books. The 31-year-old cricketer from Baroda broke Bhuvneshwar Kumar\u2019s record to become India\u2019s highest wicket-taker in the T20I format of the game.<\/p>\n

Bhuvneshwar played six matches for Team India and picked up 13 wickets. On the other hand, the ongoing match is Hardik\u2019s 12th fixture, and he now has 14 wickets to his credit.<\/p>\n
