Shadab Khan Joins Elite List of Pakistan Bowlers with Multiple T20 Hat-Tricks

 

Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan has achieved a notable milestone in T20 cricket by becoming only the second Pakistani bowler to claim multiple hat-tricks in the format.

Shadab reached the milestone during the 2026 Caribbean Premier League while representing the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons against the Guyana Amazon Warriors in Qualifier 1.

The leg-spinner delivered an outstanding spell, taking four wickets for just 16 runs. His standout moment came when he dismissed Shimron Hetmyer, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Quentin Sampson from three successive deliveries to complete his hat-trick.

The wickets came during a dramatic collapse from the Guyana Amazon Warriors, who lost eight wickets for just nine runs. Shadab’s spell added to the pressure and helped trigger a major shift in the match.

The achievement marks Shadab’s second T20 hat-trick. His first came in the 2024 Lanka Premier League when he was playing for the Colombo Strikers.

With the latest feat, Shadab has joined a select group of Pakistani bowlers who have taken more than one hat-trick in T20 cricket.

His four-wicket haul further highlighted his value as a bowling all-rounder, while the hat-trick added another significant accomplishment to his T20 career.
