Watch: 4 Wickets In 4 Balls, Jason Holder Creates History For West Indies

Jason Holder produced a record-breaking performance when it mattered the most to lead West Indies to a 17-run victory in the decider against England and with that take the five-match T20I series 3-2. The former captain picked up four wickets in four balls in the last over to complete a double hat-trick. He became the first West Indian male cricketer to take a hat-trick in T20Is. Women's star Anisa Mohammed was the first West Indian to take a hat-trick in T20Is, achieving the feat against South Africa in 2018. All-rounder Stafanie Taylor too has a T20I hat-trick in her resume, thanks to her brilliant performance against Pakistan Women in 2021.

Watch: KL Rahul's Stunning Direct Hit To Dismiss Temba Bavuma In 3rd ODI vs South Africa

With pride at stake, India made a brilliant start in the third ODI against South Africa in Cape Town on Sunday. The Proteas lead 2-0 in the three-match series and the visitors will be aiming to prevent a clean sweep. After winning the toss, stand-in captain KL Rahul elected to bowl and the hosts' top-order didn't fare well, with the likes of Janneman Malan, Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram losing their wickets cheaply. Skipper Bavuma was dismissed by a stunning direct hit by Rahul and fans took to social media to hail the 29-year-old's effort. Receiving a full delivery from Chahar in the seventh over, Bavuma sent it to the right of mid-off and left for a single. But instead of running in a straight line, he angled his run to his left after crossing the bowler and Rahul attacked the ball well, throwing an accurate direct hit at the bowler's end.
