List Of The T20 International Cricket Hat-tricks

2019 has undoubtedly been the best year for the bowlers in terms of taking hat-tricks in T20 internationals with Deepak Chahar is the latest inductee in the list of T20I hat-trick takers. In the 3rd T20I between India and Bangladesh on 10 November, Deepak Chahar had not only claimed a hat-trick but also registered the best T20I figures by any bowler as he took 6 wickets for 7 runs and helped India to win the series 2-1. ## Former Australian and one of the finest pacers in the world Brett Lee was the first to take a hat-trick in the shortest format of the game. He dismissed Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza, and Alok Kapali in three successive deliveries to claim a hat-trick in the inaugural T20 World Cup held in South Africa in 2007. ## Sri Lanka's Lasith Malinga and Afghanistan's Rashid Khan shares the record of taking 4 wickets in 4 balls in T20Is. While Lasith Malinga is the only bowler to take more than one hat-trick in T20Is, there are 11 bowlers who have a hat-trick to their name.

Kohli's Absence Will Allow Dhawan And Rohit To Be Pushed Up In Asia Cup, Feels Brett Lee

Former Australia's speedster and one of the legends of the game Brett Lee feels that Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan will be key for India in Asia Cup 2018 starting September 15 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The tournament will kick start with the fixture of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the opening match.## Indian selectors have rested skipper Virat Kohli for this tournament and therefore the pacer believes that Kohli's absence will bring out the best of Rohit and Dhawan. Rohit Sharma has named the captain of the Indian squad for the prestigious tournament.## “Two key batsmen for India in the Asia Cup – Shikhar Dhawan and secondly Rohit Sharma. I believe Rohit will get the best out of himself and also the team because he has been given that extra bit of responsibility to lead the Indian side. With Virat Kohli not playing, Rohit and Dhawan will be the two key men with the bat for India,” the former Australian pacer was quoted as saying by Star Sports.## India is a six-time and defending champion of the Asia Cup. In previous edition (played in T20 format) in 2016, both Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan played a vital role in title triumph. India became champion by defeating Bangladesh in the final.## Lee, who scalped 690 wickets for Australia in an international career that spanned over 13 years, believes that the conditions in the UAE will suit the batting style of the Indian opening pair.## “The great Virat Kohli is being rested for the tournament, so that allows Shikhar and Rohit to be pushed up. There is a lot of talk about how Rohit can’t face left-arm fast bowlers – with the swing and the ball going across him. But I don’t necessarily agree with that. What I can say is that in the UAE it will be a different style he will have to face. Yes, they will bring on the left-arm fast bowlers to target Rohit but I believe on the lower and slower wickets in UAE, Rohit will dominate. I believe the wicket will help him out,” said the 41-year-old.## “Dhawan has come in form during his bout in England but will have to adjust a few things in his techniques to ensure he will be playing on the surfaces that will be conducive to him. He has played on grounds all around India that are low and slow in recent years, and the tracks in UAE will suit him, allowing him to play through the line of the ball.”## India will kick-start their campaign against Hong Kong on September 18 and on next day they will face arch-rivals Pakistan in their second match.## For more updates and news about Cricket, stay tuned to us.## Thanks for the reading
