Taking a hat-trick in IPL can quickly change the outcome of the game, making it challenging for the opposing team to recover from the fall of quick wickets. Although hat-tricks are not very common in IPL, there have been seasons where multiple hat-tricks have taken place, while in other seasons, no bowler has managed to achieve this feat. The first bowler to take a hat-trick in IPL was Lakshmipathy Balaji, while Amit Mishra and Makhaya Ntini also accomplished the same feat in the same season. This article will provide a list of all the hat-tricks that have taken place in IPL history.
