India vs West Indies: Kuldeep Yadav creates history as he becomes first Indian to claim two hat-tricks in ODIs

Visakhapatnam, Dec 18: Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav became the first Indian to claim multiple ODI hat-tricks and create a fabulous record to his name in the second ODI against West Indies here on Wednesday (December 18).

Bowling his eighth over in the game, Kuldeep removed Shai Hope (78), Jason Holder (11) and Alzarri Joseph (0) off successive deliveries to complete his second hat-trick in the 50-over format.

Kuldeep is the sixth male bowler to have picked multiple hat-tricks in the 50-over format. With his feat against Windies, the Uttar Pradesh spinner entered an elite club which is graced by the likes of legendary Lasith Malinga, Wasim Akram, Saqlain Mushtaq, Chaminda Vaas and Trent Boult. Malinga (3) is the only bowler to have picked up more hat-tricks than Kuldeep.

Earlier last month, Deepak Chahar became the first male Indian bowler to pick up a hat-trick in the T20Is when he achieved the feat against Bangladesh.

Here are the bowlers with multiple ODI hat-tricks:

3 Lasith Malinga

2 Wasim Akram

2 Saqlain Mushtaq

2 Chaminda Vaas

2 Trent Boult

2 Kuldeep Yadav
