Yuzvendra Chahal Claims Rare IPL Double – 2 Career Hat-Tricks: Yuzvendra Chahal, the leading wicket-taker in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, added another feather to his cap by claiming a sensational hat-trick against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk. The Punjab Kings (PBKS) leg-spinner etched his name in IPL folklore, becoming only the third bowler to take two hat-tricks in the tournament’s history.
Chahal’s Magical Over Decimates CSK
In a match-defining 19th over, Chahal wreaked havoc by dismissing Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj, and Noor Ahmad in consecutive deliveries to complete his hat-trick. He didn’t stop there—he also removed the legendary MS Dhoni in the same over, finishing with four wickets in just six balls. This incredible spell triggered a dramatic collapse for CSK and showcased Chahal’s ability to turn games in a matter of deliveries.

Chahal’s latest hat-trick places him alongside Yuvraj Singh as the only bowlers with two IPL hat-tricks. The legendary Amit Mishra still leads the list with three. Notably, this was the first hat-trick ever taken against CSK in IPL history and only the second at Chepauk after Lakshmipathy Balaji’s heroics in the inaugural 2008 season.
