Pat Cummins created history as he took a three-wicket haul in Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday (May 18).
He broke an all-time record of Hardik Pandya while emulating Shane Warne's rare feat.
The SRH skipper was the pick of the bowlers for the Hyderabad-based team as he got the big wickets of Sanju Samson, Kartik Sharma, and Ruturaj Gaikwad and finished with figures of 3-28 in four overs as the hosts put up a total of 180 on the board after winning the toss and batting first.
