Yuzvendra Chahal Takes Stunning Hattrick In IPL 2025 Vs CSK, Breaks Many Records
Last Updated:
Yuzvendra Chahal of Punjab Kings achieved a hat-trick against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, taking the wickets of Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj, and Noor Ahmad.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal made multiple records with a stunning hat-trick against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk on Wednesday (April 30). He took the wickets of all-rounder Deepak Hooda and bowlers Anshul Kamboj and Noor Ahmad on consecutive deliveries in the 19th over of the first innings of the clash.
This was his second hat-trick in the IPL, with the first coming against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022. He became the first player to take an IPL hat-trick against CSK, the fourth to take a hat-trick for PBKS (after Yuvraj Singh, Axar Patel and now-CSK player Sam Curran), the third to take multiple hat-tricks in the tournament after Amit Mishra and Yuvraj and also the second to take two of these for two teams after Mishra.
Chahal celebrated it with his typical lazy pose. Watch the moment here:
Chahal had not taken any wickets in his two previous overs in the match. He took the first on the second ball of the 19th of CSK skipper MS Dhoni, by making him reach out for a wide one (just a ball after he had hit a six stepping down). Dhoni tried to go over the long-off fence but didn't get under it and ended up holing it out.
On the next delivery, he surprised tailender Kamboj with a quick and flat one. The batter tried to flick it to the leg-side but missed it all ended up and got bowled.
Generally, batters coming on a hat-trick ball try to defend it. But perhaps because it was the second-last over and Shivam Dube was on the other end who'd have wanted the strike for the 20th, Noor went for the big-hit. It was flighted slowly and luringly straight outside off, Noor cleared his front foot and had a lot of power behind it but not a clean connection, making it go in the air for an easy catch at long-on.
