Kuldeep Yadav became the third Indian to take a hat-trick in ODIs during the second match of the ongoing series between India and Australia at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
The chinaman bowler stunned Aussie batsmen with his guile as he etched his name in an elite list by achieving the feat in the 33rd over.
The young spinner dismissed Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins on successive deliveries.

Kuldeep is the third bowler in the history to take a hat-trick for India in ODIs after Chetan Sharma and Kapil Dev. He is also the first bowler to take a hat-trick in Under-19 ODIs as well as in ODIs. He achieved the same feat against Scotland U19 in the U19 World Cup 2014.
