Hat Tricks in IPL History Updated
In the IPL, a bowler’s outstanding performance can quickly alter the result of a match, particularly if they are able to take a hat-trick during the innings. The opposition team may suffer a serious setback if a player scores a hat-trick because it will be challenging for them to recover from the quick loss of wickets.
Hat-tricks are, however, rather uncommon in the IPL, with some seasons going by without a bowler recording even one. On the other hand, there have been seasons where several bowlers have taken hat-tricks. A complete list of all hat tricks in IPL history will be provided in this page.

Lakshmipathy Balaji created IPL history as he completed the first-ever hat trick. He had a strong performance against the Punjab side in the first season, capturing five wickets for 24 runs in four overs. Balaji’s hat-trick was a crucial turning point in the tournament’s history and established a bar for bowlers to shoot towards in the future. Nevertheless, Amit Mishra and Makhaya Ntini also took hat-tricks that season, therefore he wasn’t the only bowler to accomplish this feat.
Yuvraj Singh, a batter by nature, shocked everyone in 2009 by taking two hat tricks while competing for the Punjab side. His outstanding exploits that season enabled Punjab to get to the semi-finals. During the same season, Rohit Sharma, who is currently among the finest batsmen in the world, also claimed a hat-trick.
