Overview

• Sadhak pulled off the unprecedented feat on July 10 in a Division Six match between Ipswich and Colchester Cricket Club and Kesgrave in Suffolk.
• He finished with figures of six for 21, bowling five batters clean and seeing one caught in successive overs to dismantle the Kesgrave lineup.
• Battling with the bat during the 139-run chase, he scored an unbeaten 14 that included two fours and a six as his team sealed a seven-wicket win in 21 overs.
• Only Mitchell Starc in 2017 and Jimmy Matthews in 1912 had previously taken two hat-tricks in a single match, though both split their wickets across two innings.
• His world-first display prompted celebrations at the club and has earned him priority consideration for future selections, a role he greets with modest confidence.
