In a massive moment of the game, Yuzvendra Chahal picked up an outstanding hat-trick to stun the opposition Kolkata Knight Riders team as he dismissed the trio of Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Mavi and Pat Cummins off three consecutive deliveries during a single over. Chahal also registered the first five-wicket haul of the Indian Premier League 2022 season and ended with sensational match-winning figures of 5 for 40 to take the Rajasthan Royals towards an incredible victory. He took as many as four vital wickets in a single over to turn the match on its head.
