IPL History: Unique mathematics of hat-trick! Three wickets in two balls; This bowler had created history

Pravin Tambe Hat-Trick: The 19th season of the Indian Premier League is going to start from March 28. The first match will be between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad. A total of 23 hat-tricks have been recorded in the 18 seasons of IPL played so far, but one hat-trick stands out.

This is a unique record, which is almost impossible to repeat. This record is in the name of Praveen Tambe, who was the oldest player to debut in IPL. A Bollywood film (Who is Praveen Tambe) has also been made on his life.

What is a hat-trick?

In cricket, when a bowler takes three consecutive wickets, it is called a hat-trick. Three wickets in three consecutive balls, but Praveen Tambe created a unique record by taking a hat-trick in just two balls. He took this unique hat-trick in 2014 while playing for Rajasthan Royals against Kolkata Knight Riders. Let us understand how he took the hat-trick in just two balls.

Hit a hat-trick in 2 balls

In the league stage of IPL 2014, Praveen Tambe took a hat-trick in the 16th over against KKR. He bowled a googly with the first ball, which Manish Pandey missed and was stumped by wicketkeeper Sanju Samson. However, that ball was ‘wide’, so Praveen got the wicket, but it was not counted. After this he dismissed Yusuf Pathan on the first ‘legal’ ball. Ryan ten Doeschate was out on the second ‘legal’ ball.

In this way, Praveen Tambe completed his hat-trick in just two ‘legal’ balls. Earlier, Isuru Udana had taken a hat-trick in two balls in the Champions League T20 (2010). Praveen Tambe became the second bowler to achieve this feat.

In this match, Kolkata Knight Riders also made a record which no team would like to make. KKR became the first team to lose the match despite making an opening partnership of 100 runs.
