The hat-trick meter in the IPL touched double figures after Sunil Narine’s magical act against Kings XI.

Yuvraj Singh and Amit Mishra belong to the rare breed of bowlers who have performed it twice.

Interestingly, the former’s hat-tricks have come in the 12th and 14th overs of the innings on both occasions.

Yuvraj and Narine are the only bowlers to finish on the losing side despite taking a hat-trick.

Makhaya Ntini’s show was special as he had all three batsmen bowled, the only player to do so.

Sourav Ganguly, David Hussey and Robin Uthappa share the dubious distinction of being hat-trick victims twice.
