“Hope you break my record of 3 hattricks in IPL”: Amit Mishra hopes for Yuzi Chahal to break his record of most hat tricks in IPL

Amit Mishra hopes for Yuzi Chahal to break his record of most hat-tricks in the history of the Indian Premier League.

Rajasthan Royals defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 7 runs in a thriller at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. Jos Buttler scored an outstanding hat-trick for the Royals, but Yuzvendra Chahal stole all the headlines at the end. Yuzvendra Chahal finished with figures of 5-40, which included a hat-trick.

Kolkata Knight Riders needed 40 runs in the last four overs with six wickets in hands, and the match was in their reach. In the 17th over of the match, Chahal bowled an extraordinary over to pull things back in Rajasthan’s favour.

Yuzvendra Chahal just conceded two runs in the over and took four wickets. On the first ball of the over, he took the wicket of Venkatesh Iyer, who was stumped by Sanju Samson. On the 4th ball, Chahal took the most important wicket of Shreyas Iyer, who was looking in outstanding form for the Knights.

Chahal then took wickets of Shivam Mavi and Pat Commins on the 5th & 6th ball respectively to complete a deserving hattrick. This over of Yuzvendra Chahal turned the direction of the game at the end. This was Chahal’s first hattrick in the IPL.
