India all-rounder Hardik Pandya scored a brilliant maiden Test century off just 96 balls to propel the visitors to 487 in their first innings in the third and final Test at Pallekele on Sunday. In his innings of 108 runs, Hardik hit eight boundaries and seven maximums. While doing so, Hardik equaled the record of Virender Sehwag who hit seven sixes against Sri lanka at Brabourne in 2009. The record is held by Navjot Sidhu who hit eight against the same opposition in Lucknow in 1994. The right-handed batsman became the first Indian batsman to score 26 runs in an over and surpassed the previous record of 24 runs which was scored by Sandeep Patil off Bob Willis in Manchester in 1982 and by Kapil Dev off Eddie Hemmings at Lord's in 1990.
