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 serie🎉s against West Indies in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday.
He dismissed Shai Hope (78), Jason Holder🎃 (11) and Alzarri Joseph (0) in the 33rd over of second 🌃innings.
Kuldeep took his first hat-trick against Australia in 2017 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. He then claimed the ⛄wickets of Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins t🐷o steer India to victory.
So n❀ow, 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.
