Kuldeep Yadav dismissed Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins to become the third Indian cricketer after Chetan Sharma and Kapil Dev to take a hat-trick in ODIs. His feat turned the second ODI in India’s favour and they went on to win the game.

Kuldeep Yadav etched his name in an elite list as he took a hat-trick and turned the second ODI against Australia India’s way in the 33rd over at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The mystery spinner was lucky when Matthew Wade dragged one on to his stumps. That was in the second ball of the 33rd over. (India vs Australia - 2nd ODI: Highlights)

Next ball, Ashton Agar went, trapped in front of the wicket. Agar thought about a review but non-striker Marcus Stoinis decided against it. And then Pat Cummins fell, caught at the wicket. (India vs Australia - 2nd ODI: Scorecard)
