In the 2025 edition of the IPL, only one player was able to pick up a hat-trick as the tournament was heavily dominated by the batters, making life difficult for the bowlers.
Trent Boult came the closest to taking a hat-trick in 2024 as he sent Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir packing in two consecutive deliveries, but failed to dismiss Ishan Kishan, who took a single off the next ball.
Before that, the last hat-trick came in the 2023 edition of IPL, where Rashid Khan of the Gujarat Titans was the only one to take a hat-trick.
