With this, he overtook legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh to have the most doubles of a half-century and at least a wicket during a T20I match in Indian cricket's history (Pic: File Pic)

Now, Hardik has four instances scoring a half-century and taking at least a wicket in a T20I for India in a T20I match, one more than the Indian icon (Pic: X/@hardikpandya7)

Virat Kohli also finds a mention in this list, having emulated this feat against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup back in 2012 and against West Indies in the 2016 T20 WC. Next is all-rounder Shivam Dube, who has also achieved this feat twice (Pic: File Pic)
