UP captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar took his first-ever T20 hat-trick during his team's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) match against Jharkhand on Thursday. This comes days after he was bought by RCB for ₹10.75 crore in IPL 2025 mega auction. The 34-year-old pacer dismissed Robin Minz, Bal Krishna and Vivekanand Tiwari in the 17th over, which was a maiden as well.
