Hat-Tricks In IPL History: Despite the dominance of batsmen, sometimes bowlers also play match-winning roles in cricket. With the attacking pace and confusing spin, they showed their potential many times on the field. But besides all the stunts they perform on the ground, the moment of Hat-trick is the best one.
And why not? Hat-trick is the thing that can shift the momentum at any point of the game. It’s like a very painful wound for the opposition team that takes too much time to recover.
However, it’s not very common to see hat-trick. It comes at very rare times. In the 15 years of IPL history, from 2008 to 2022, we have only seen 21 Hat-tricks yet. Check out the list below.
