Deepak Chahar becomes first Indian to take T20I hat-trick

Nagpur, November 10: Deepak Chahar claimed the first hat-trick by an Indian in T20I in the third match against Bangladesh here on Sunday (November 10). It was a sensational effort because Chahar bowled under dew and conditions that did not suit his style of bowling.

It was also the third hat-trick by an Indian bowler in 2019 after Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami did it earlier this year. MyKhel takes a look at the Indian bowlers who managed to achieve the rare feat.
