IPL 2023, GT vs KKR: Rashid Khan picks first hat-trick of this season
Ranked number T20I bowler in the world, Rashid Khan became the first bowler inIPL 2023 to claim a hattrick. Against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the leg-spinner picked three wickets on three successive balls during the 17th over to achieve this feat.
On the first ball, Rashid removed the most-destructive hitter Andre Russell as he edged one to the keeper off his thigh pads. While the umpire didn’t give him out first, Rashid and Saha were convinced and reviewed the decision that fell in their favour.
On the next delivery, Rashid dismissed Sunil Narine, who smashed it straight to the deep-mid-wicket area. Then comes Shardul Thakur, the player of the match for KKR in their previous group game against RCB. Rashid, who looked confident, bowled a wrong-un and trapped the right-handed Shardul in front on a first-ball duck.

As expected, Thakur took the review, but that was a waste of effort as Hawkeye showed the ball was hitting the middle stump. With that, the crowd went berserk as Rashid completed his first hat trick for Gujarat Titans.
