<br><strong>11. Amit Mishra &#8211; SRH:</strong>

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/05/Amit-Mishra-SRH.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-19735" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Amit-Mishra-SRH.jpg" alt="Amit Mishra SRH" width="640" height="422" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-19735" class="wp-caption-text">Amit Mishra SRH.

Amit Mishra and hat tricks seem to be an inseparable pair as he took his record third hat-trick in the IPL against PWI. With 19 needed off 19 balls Pune was set to win the match comfortably, but then Amit Mishra came and turned the tables for his side. Angelo Mathews, Rahul Sharma and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar got victimized by some exceptional leg spin bowling from Mishra.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2014/05/Tambe-Hattrick.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-4618" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Tambe-Hattrick.jpg" alt="Pravin Tambe RR" width="640" height="438" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4618" class="wp-caption-text">Pravin Tambe RR.

Shane Watson is yet again in the record books but not for his batting, this time for his unbelievable bowling that fetched him a hat trick against SRH. He got Moises Henriques, Shikhar Dhawan and Karan Sharma out to register his hat-trick.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2014/05/Akshar-Patel1.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-5045"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-5045" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Akshar-Patel1.jpg" alt="Axar Patel KXIP" width="922" height="634"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-5045" class="wp-caption-text">Axar Patel. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

Kings XI Punjab were playing the Gujarat Lions at Rajkot and very few gave Punjab a chance since they languished at the bottom of the table while Gujarat was at the top. After posting 154 KXIP needed an inspired effort from their bowlers and the lanky left-arm spinner Axar Patel responded to the team&#8217;s expectation. He got rid of the danger man Dwayne Smith with an arm ball, Smit inside edged it and was bowled. DJ Bravo on the next ball had a huge gap between his bat and pad, he also got an inside edge and the ball deflected into his stumps. Patel got both these wickets on the last two balls of his over, and he came back in his next to induce an outside edge off Ravindra Jadeja to complete his hat-trick. This happens to be the first hat-trick of IPL 9.

<p>Kings XI Punjab were playing the Gujarat Lions at Rajkot and very few gave Punjab a chance since they languished at the bottom of the table while Gujarat was at the top. After posting 154 KXIP needed an inspired effort from their bowlers and the lanky left-arm spinner Axar Patel responded to the team’s expectation. He got rid of the danger man Dwayne Smith with an arm ball, Smit inside edged it and was bowled. DJ Bravo on the next ball had a huge gap between his bat and pad, he also got an inside edge and the ball deflected into his stumps. Patel got both these wickets on the last two balls of his over, and he came back in his next to induce an outside edge off Ravindra Jadeja to complete his hat-trick. This happens to be the first hat-trick of IPL 9.</p>

<p><strong><strong>3 in 3; Hat Tricks registered in the IPL: </strong></strong>Taking a hat-trick is one of the many dreams for every bowler. You need a bit of luck and some incredible virtuosity with the ball in order to achieve the remarkable feat of picking up a hat-trick. Not always the best bowlers take hat-tricks, but it comes off in one of those days when everything goes your way and when all your endeavors pay off miraculously. The world&#8217;s most famous cricket league the IPL has seen some memorable and remarkable hat-tricks over the years which have stayed afresh in the minds of all the devout followers of the league. So let&#8217;s take a look at how many bowlers in the IPL made possible the splendid feat of picking up 3 wickets in 3 balls:</p>
<h3><strong>Hat-tricks in IPL &#8211;</strong></h3>
<h4><strong>1. Lakshmipathy Balaji &#8211; CSK:</strong></h4>

<p>CSK is top in most charts in the IPL and this one is no exception as Balaji of CSK was the first bowler to register a hat-trick in the IPL against KXIP. The victims in this case were Irfan Pathan, Piyush Chawla and VRV Singh all three were caught by the CSK fielders. Balaji also achieved a fifer in that match and gave away just 24 runs in his brilliant spell.</p>

<figure id="attachment_19730" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-19730" style="width: 297px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/05/Yuvraj-Singh-hattrick-vs-rcb.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-19730" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Yuvraj-Singh-hattrick-vs-rcb.jpg" alt="Yuvraj Singh KXIP" width="297" height="394" sizes="(max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-19730" class="wp-caption-text">Yuvraj Singh KXIP.

<h4><strong>5. Rohit Sharma &#8211; DC:</strong></h4>

<p>The man for the record books Yuvi took another hat trick and became the first and is the only player to register 2 hat tricks in the same season. This time his victims were the helpless Deccan Chargers batsmen.</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<h4><strong>7. Praveen Kumar &#8211; RCB:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_19732" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-19732" style="width: 318px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/05/Praveen-Kumar-RCB-Hattrick.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-19732 size-full" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Praveen-Kumar-RCB-Hattrick.jpg" alt="Pravin Kumar RCB" width="318" height="419" sizes="(max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-19732" class="wp-caption-text">Pravin Kumar RCB. (Photo Source: Rediff)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The street smart RCB swing bowler became the 6th bowler to take a hat trick in the IPL. He got the wickets of Damien Martyn, Sumit Narwal and Paras Dogra in succession and registered the first hat trick of IPL 2010. Damien Martyn and Dogra got their stumps battered while Dogra was caught out.</p>
<h4><strong></strong><br>
<strong>8. Amit Mishra &#8211; DC:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_19733" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-19733" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/05/Amit-Mishra-DC.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-19733" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Amit-Mishra-DC.jpg" alt="Amit Mishra DC" width="640" height="484"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-19733" class="wp-caption-text">Amit Mishra DC. (Photo Source: Associated Press)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Amit Mishra yet again wrote his name deeper into the history books as he registered his second hat trick in a do or die game against Punjab. Ryan McLaren, Mandeep Singh and Ryan Harris fell to the excellent spin bowling of Amit Mishra who with his occasional googlies and arm-balls proved to be a very dangerous bowler.</p>
<p></p>
<h4><strong>9. Ajit Chandila &#8211; RR:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_19734" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-19734" style="width: 452px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/05/Ajit-Chandila-RR.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-19734 size-full" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Ajit-Chandila-RR.jpg" alt="Ajit Chandila RR" width="452" height="599" sizes="(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-19734" class="wp-caption-text">Ajit Chandila RR. (Photo Source: AFP)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Ajit Chandila was a relatively unknown player before this match. Rahul Dravid even forgot his name at the toss. But he became popular overnight after he took a stupendous hat trick against PWI dismissing Ryder, Ganguly and Uthappa in succession. However, he later ended up being infamous for spot-fixing a blot on what could have been a good career.</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<h4><strong>10. Sunil Narine &#8211; KKR:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_15381" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-15381" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/04/Sunil-Narine-KKR.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-15381" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Sunil-Narine-KKR.jpg" alt="Sunil Narine KKR" width="640" height="434"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-15381" class="wp-caption-text">Sunil Narine KKR. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The mystery spinner from West Indies is one of the most difficult bowlers to pick. He proved that against KXIP in 2013 when he stunned and stung the opposition with his unplayable bowling. Narine sent David Hussey, Azhar Mahmood and Gurkeerat Singh back to the pavilion in succession thus becoming the first bowler to take a hat trick in that season.</p>
<h4><br>
<strong>11. Amit Mishra &#8211; SRH:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_19735" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-19735" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/05/Amit-Mishra-SRH.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-19735" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Amit-Mishra-SRH.jpg" alt="Amit Mishra SRH" width="640" height="422" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-19735" class="wp-caption-text">Amit Mishra SRH. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Amit Mishra and hat tricks seem to be an inseparable pair as he took his record third hat-trick in the IPL against PWI. With 19 needed off 19 balls Pune was set to win the match comfortably, but then Amit Mishra came and turned the tables for his side. Angelo Mathews, Rahul Sharma and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar got victimized by some exceptional leg spin bowling from Mishra.</p>
<p></p>
<h4><strong>12. Pravin Tambe- RR:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_4618" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4618" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2014/05/Tambe-Hattrick.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-4618" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Tambe-Hattrick.jpg" alt="Pravin Tambe RR" width="640" height="438" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4618" class="wp-caption-text">Pravin Tambe RR. (Photo: BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The 43-year-old veteran proved that age is just a number and is not a constraint for sport. Pravin Tambe took a two-ball hat trick dismissing Manish Pandey, Ten Doeschate and Yusuf Pathan of KKR.</p>
<p></p>
<h4><strong>13. Shane Watson- RR:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_19736" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-19736" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/05/Shane-Watson-RR1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-19736" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Shane-Watson-RR1.jpg" alt="Shane Watson RR" width="640" height="440" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-19736" class="wp-caption-text">Shane Watson RR. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Shane Watson is yet again in the record books but not for his batting, this time for his unbelievable bowling that fetched him a hat trick against SRH. He got Moises Henriques, Shikhar Dhawan and Karan Sharma out to register his hat-trick.</p>
<h4><strong>14. Axar Patel- KXIP:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_5045" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5045" style="width: 922px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2014/05/Akshar-Patel1.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-5045"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-5045" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Akshar-Patel1.jpg" alt="Axar Patel KXIP" width="922" height="634"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-5045" class="wp-caption-text">Axar Patel.
