Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav (3/52) became the first Indian bowler to take 🔜two ODI hat-tricks. The 25-year-old achieved the feat in the second game of the ongoing three-match ODI series against West Indies in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday.
He dismissed Shai Hope (78), Jason Holder (11) and A💃lzarri Joseph (0) in the 33rd o𝄹ver of second innings.
Kuldeep took his first hat-trick against Australia in 2017 at🌳 the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. He the💦n claimed the wickets of Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins to steer India to victory.
So now, Kuldeep has joined the elite list of bowlers with🐟 two ODI hat-🔴tricks. It includes Pakistan veterans Wasim Akram and Saqlain Mushtaq, former Sri Lanka left-arm pacer Chaminda Vaas and New Zealand pacer Trent Boult.
