Mithun, who has played for India as well, achieved the feat in the 20^th and last over of Haryana innings. Haryana started the over on 192/4 when Mithun destroyed them as the batsmen went for runs. He picked wickets of Himanshu Rana, Rahul Tewatia, Sumit Kumar, and Amit Mishra to complete his record four wickets in four balls. He then bowled a wide and gave away one run, before picking the wicket of Jayant Yadav on the last ball to complete his five wickets in an over and created a unique record.  

Here is the video of Mithun’s achievement:

Abhimanyu Mithun became the first bowler to take a hat-trick in all three of India's top-tier domestic level tournaments - the Ranji Trophy, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. 

This is only the second instance in T20 cricket that a bowler has taken five wickets in an over – Bangladesh bowler Al Amin Hossain did this feat in a domestic T20 match in 2013.
