Wed Apr 30 15:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Chahal Creates IPL History with Second Hat-trick Against CSK
**Chennai, April 30, 2025** – Punjab Kings leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal etched his name in IPL history on Wednesday, taking a stunning hat-trick against the Chennai Super Kings at the Chepauk Stadium. This makes him only the second bowler to achieve this feat at the venue, following Lakshmipathy Balaji’s accomplishment for CSK in 2008. Remarkably, it’s also the first hat-trick taken against CSK and the first in the IPL since Rashid Khan’s achievement in 2023.
Chahal’s performance was even more dramatic. After a relatively uneventful start conceding 2 runs in 2 overs without a wicket, he was brought on by captain Shreyas Iyer in the 18th over. He first dismissed MS Dhoni, who had hit a six in the previous ball, before following it up by dismissing Deepak Hooda, and Anshul Kambोज, and Noor Ahmed in consecutive balls, thus taking his second IPL hat-trick, a first for any bowler in IPL.
This is Chahal’s second hat-trick in the IPL, having previously achieved the feat in 2022. He becomes the third bowler to take multiple hat-tricks in the IPL, behind Amit Mishra (3) and Yuvraj Singh (2). He is also the fourth bowler to achieve a hat-trick for Punjab Kings. The incredible feat saw him take four wickets in a single over for the second time in his career.
