Sam Curran on IPL hat-trick: The crowd was so loud – I couldnt hear myself think
England all-rounder Sam Curran took a hat-trick in the IPL to help Kings XI Punjab defeat Delhi Capitals.
Ricky Pontings Delhi looked on course to chase Kings XIs 166-6 as they moved to 144-3 in the 17th over.
But Curran, playing in his first Indian Premier League, took three wickets in three balls to dismiss Harshal Patel, Hanuma Vihari and Kagiso Rabada.
The 20-year-old wrapped up the win by bowling Sandeep Lamichhane as he finished with remarkable figures of 4-11 from 2.2 overs.
