Kolkata/IBNS: Romario Shepherd created history at the Eden Gardens on Saturday, becoming the first West Indies bowler to claim a hat-trick in the T20 World Cup during his side’s clash against Scotland.
Shepherd, the ninth bowler overall to achieve the feat in T20 World Cup history, finished with a sensational five-wicket haul that included four wickets in a single over.
