Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav is the only Indian bowler with multiple hat-tricks in international cricket as he achieved the feat against Australia and West Indies in ODIs. He also has a hat-trick in the U19 World Cup tournament and added one more to his kitty while playing for India A.
In the second one-day match between India A and New Zealand A, Kuldeep Yadav bowled a sensational spell of 4/51 in 10 overs which included a hat-trick as the Kiwis were bowled out for 219 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on September 25.
Kuldeep took his hat-trick in the 47th over of the match when New Zealand A was on 219 for 7. He dismissed Logan Van Beek, Joe Walker, and Jacob Duffy in three consecutive deliveries to end their innings.
