The Indian Premier League (IPL) since its inception in the year 2008 has produced some of the most riveting cricketing moments. In every season, numerous records are built and broken. Though the game of T20 cricket is believed to be heavily tilted towards the batsmen, yet there have been several bowlers who stepped up and dominated them.

Hat-tricks are unique in the game and there have been as many or as few as 14 in the 9-year history of the tournament so far. Out of those, 11 have been taken by Indians and 3 by overseas bowlers. Amit Mishra and Yuvraj Singh did it more than once.

Here we take a look at the top 5 hat-tricks in the IPL so far:

5. Makhaya Ntini (CSK vs KKR in 2008)

It was the very first season of the league and the former South African fast bowler took the first split hat-trick of the league. Playing for Chennai Super Kings against Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata, he inflicted the third overall hat-trick in the history of the league.

First, Saurav Ganguly was bowled off the last ball of the 5th over when he charged Ntini and missed the ball, the middle stump was uprooted. Next, it was the first ball of the 17th over when Debabrata Das’s leg stump was dismantled off a fuller delivery. David Hussey was the next victim as his off stump was knocked over by a peach of a delivery.
