IND v/s SA 1st T20: Bhuvneshwar becomes first Indian pacer to claim 5 wickets in T20I as four wickets fall in epic over
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the first Indian bowler to take 5-wickets in each format of cricket.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar again proved to be difference in a high-scoring match as he claimed a five wickets to help India win the first T20 International against South Africa by 238 runs. After dismissing Proteas opener Smuts and captain JP Duminy in his first spell over, Kumar returned to take 3 wickets in his last over.
Here is how the over went:
Bhuvneshwar came back for his last over of the match. He first snared Hendricks with a slower ball. Hendricks went for a big one but it went up in the air and MS Dhoni took a safe catch.
Then on the fourth and fifth ball of the over, Bhuvi dismissed Klaasen and Chris Morris in to claim his first five-for in T20Is.
Bhuvneshwar did not get a hat-trick but a brilliant piece of work by Pandya at mid-off saw Dave Paterson run-out giving India its fourth wicket in the over.
Twitter was full of praise for the Indian pacer:
