Amit Mishra

Amit Mishra has the most hat trick in IPL. The veteran Indian spinner has three hat tricks to his name. His first hat trick came in the first season in 2008. Mishra playing for the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) took a hat trick against the Deccan Chargers. While defending 15 runs in the last over, Mishra dismissed Ravi Teja, Pragyan Ojha, and RP Singh on the first three balls to win the match for his team.

His second hat trick came when he was playing for Deccan Chargers against Kings XI Punjab. While defending a huge total of 199 runs his hat trick in the 16th over derailed the opposition. He dismissed Ryan McLaren, Mandeep Singh, and Ryan Harris to claim his second hat trick.

His third hat trick came for another different team in 2013 when he was playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. This time, Mishra and his team were defending a low total of 119 against the Pune Warriors India. PWI needed only 14 runs in the last two overs when Mishra came on to bowl. He dismissed Angelo Mathews on the second ball. On the last three balls of his over he dismissed Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rahul Sharma, and Ashok Dinda to pick four wickets in the over and win the match for his side.

Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh is the second bowler to take more than one hat trick. The World Cup-winning all-rounder is the only bowler in the history of the IPL to pick two hat tricks in the same season. Yuvraj achieved this feat in the second season in 2009. Yuvraj’s first hat trick came in the first innings against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He dismissed Robin Uthappa and Jacques Kallis on the last two balls of the 12th over. He returned to bowl the 14th over and dismissed Mark Boucher on the first ball of the over to complete the hat trick. Unfortunately for Yuvraj, his hat trick was not enough to win the match for his team.

His second hat trick of the season came against the Deccan Chargers. Defending a total of 134, Yuvraj dismissed Herschelle Gibbs on the last of the 12th over. He dismissed Andrew Symonds and Venugopal Rao on the first two balls of his next over to complete the hat trick. His hat trick was really important as his team, Kings XI Punjab won the match by only one run.

Balaji bowled a slower delivery on the third ball that dismissed Irfan Pathan, who was playing well at 40 off 18 balls. Pathan mistimed his shot and got out.

The next wicket came as Piyush Chawla tried to hit a six but ended up giving an easy catch to Chamara Kapugedera. To complete his hattrick, Balaji bowled a short delivery, which was edged by Vikram Singh into the hands of MS Dhoni.

This hat trick not only ensured a win for CSK but also Balaji entered the IPL history books as the first bowler to achieve the feat.
