IPL 2018: Bowlers who have picked hat-tricks in the tournament
We take a look at a few bowlers who have taken hat-tricks in the IPL thus far.
7. Ajit Chandila – 1
This was the first hat-trick taken in 2012 edition of IPL when Ajit Chandila became the first uncapped Indian to do so in a IPL game. Chandila, who was booked in charges of match-fixing in the next edition to follow, showed much promise with his ability to spin the ball. He was one of the Indians who bowled in the Powerplay overs. Playing for Rajasthan Royals, he took a hat-trick in a game against Pune Warriors India in the first over of the match.
He dismissed Jesse Ryder and captain Sourav Ganguly in the fifth and sixth ball of the match and then sent back R Uthappa in the first ball of his next over to complete the hat-trick. Rajasthan eventually ended up winning the game by 45 runs as Chandila played an important role in team’s victory. It was a dream start for the youngster form Haryana but was later found guilty as he was booked for match fixing charges in a game against Kings XI Punjab in the 2013 IPL season along with teammates S Sreesanth and Ankit Chavan that simply ruined his career thereafter.
Batsmen dismissed: Jesse Ryder, Sourav Ganguly, and Robin Uthappa
