5 Indian players who have taken hat-trick in international cricket

Uttar Pradesh's chinaman Kuldeep Yadav produced a magnificent spell of spin bowling against Australia on Thursday evening as he became the third Indian to pick up a hat-trick in One-day Internationals. He joined the elite club that features the great Indian all-rounder Kapil Dev (1991) and Chetan Sharma (1987). This also made him the first Indian spinner to take a hat-trick in ODIs and second across all formats. Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan have picked up hat-tricks in Test cricket too. Here is a full list of players who have achieved the feat for India: (Image Source: BCCi/Reuters)

Kapil Dev Kapil Dev The former Indian captain made history in the final of 1991 Asia Cup when he picked up back-to-back wickets of Roshan Mahanama (caught behind), Rumesh Ratnayake (lbw) and Sanath Jayasuriya (caught Manjrekar). (Image Source: IE image)

Harbhajan Singh The off-spinner became the first Indian to pick up a Test hat-trick. His victims were Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne when Australia was playing against India at the Eden Gardens in 2002. (Image Source: Reuters)

Irfan Pathan While Bhajji chose the best venue to pick up a hat-trick, Pathan chose the best opponent. The left-hand fast bowler became the first bowler to take a hat-trick in the very first over of a Test match by picking up the wickets of Pakistan's Salman Butt, Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf at Karachi in 2006.
