Former Indian spinner Rahul Sharma weaved his magic with the ball, as he recorded a phenomenal hattrick in the ongoing International Masters T20 league. Playing for the India Masters, Rahul dismantled South Africa with his wily variations. 

Rahul Sharma Derails South Africa With A Magnificent Hattrick

The incident occurred during the fifth over of South Africa Masters' innings when the Indians were searching for their first breakthrough. Indian captain Sachin Tendulkar's decision to bring Rahul into the attack paid rich dividends, as the leg-spinner rattled South Africa with triple strikes. 

He began his onslaught by getting rid of Hashim Amla with a beautifully pitched-up delivery. As Rahul Sharma invited Amla to take the aerial route, the legendary batter was cleaned up while playing a wild slog. 

He followed it up by trapping Jacques Kallis plumb in front of the stumps before getting Jacques Rudolph LBW in his very next delivery. Thus, he brought up a memorable hattrick, etching his name in the history books. 

Farhan Behardien Joins Henry Davids

After the fall of the third wicket, former middle-order batter Farhan Behardien joined the in-form Henry Davids in the middle to steady the ship for South Africa Legends. As of writing, the Proteas were in a spot of bother, placed at 52 for three, with Davids and Behardien batting on 35* and 7*, respectively.
