The 19th edition of the Indian Premier League is going to start from March 28. The first match is between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad. A total of 23 hat-tricks have been recorded in the 18 IPL editions played so far, but one hat-trick is special among them. This is such a unique record that it is almost impossible to repeat it. This record is in the name of Praveen Tambe, who was the oldest player to debut in IPL. Let us tell you that a film (Kaun Praveen Tambe) has also been made in Bollywood on his life.

In cricket, when a bowler takes 3 consecutive wickets, it is called a hat-trick. 3 wickets in 3 consecutive balls, but Praveen Tambe had made this unique record by taking a hat-trick in just 2 balls. He took this unique hat-trick while playing for Rajasthan Royals against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014. Let us explain to you how he took a hat-trick in 2 balls.

hat-trick in 2 balls

Praveen Tambe took a hat-trick in the 16th over against KKR in the league stage of IPL 2014. The first ball he bowled a googly, Manish Pandey missed it and was stumped by wicketkeeper Sanju Samson. Although this ball was wide, hence Praveen got the wicket but the ball 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’s hat-trick was completed only after 2 legal balls. Earlier, Isuru Udana had taken a hat-trick in 2 balls in the Champions League T20 (2010). Praveen Tambe became the second bowler to do so.

In this match, an unwanted record was also registered in the name of Kolkata Knight Riders. KKR became the first team, which lost the match despite having an opening partnership of 100 runs.
