Hat-tricks are quite rare in cricket and there have been a total of 20 hat-tricks so far in the history of IPL. Former Indian pacer Lakshmipathy Balaji was the first bowler to take a hat-trick in the history of the tournament.

Balaji was playing for Chennai Super Kings in 2008, and he achieved the feat against Punjab Kings (Kings XI Punjab in 2008). He took the wickets of Irfan Pathan, Piyush Chawla and VRV Singh to complete his hattrick.
