Pakistan, April 5 -- In a remarkable display of skill, Hardik Pandya made history in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He took five wickets in a single match, a feat no captain has accomplished in 17 years. This occurred during the 16th match of IPL 2025. Lucknow Super Giants batted first, scoring 203 runs for 8 wickets. They set a challenging target of 204 runs for the Mumbai Indians.

Pandya's bowling performance was exceptional. He led his team by taking five crucial wickets, achieving this milestone for the first time in T20 matches. These figures also set a new record for the best bowling performance by any captain in IPL history. Previously, former spinner Anil Kumble held the record with four wickets in a match.

Not only did Pandya...
