3 instances when an ODI hat-trick contained 3 different modes of dismissals

#2 – Kagiso Rabada against Bangladesh, 2015

Rabada stormed into the arena in an eventful manner

There are very few sights more exhilarating than a young tear away speedster steaming into bowl without any care in the world. Marking his maiden international appearance, a 20-year old fast bowler from Johannesburg instantly endeared himself to the cricketing fraternity’s attention with a stunning performance.

Amidst gloomy skies and a green tinged surface, Kagiso Rabada scythed through a nonplussed Bangladeshi batting lineup by operating at a lively pace. His first international scalp was Tamim Iqbal who could not handle a full delivery which cannoned on to the stumps.

After Liton Das played a ludicrous shot by chipping one right into square leg’s hands, Rabada beat Mahmudullah for pace by trapping him in front as the Mirpur crowd fell into an eerie silence.

Not satisfied with becoming only the second bowler to take a hat-trick on ODI debut, he returned to finish the tail to end up with figures of 8-3-16-6 and helped South Africa cruise to an easy win. Even though his team went on to lose the two subsequent matches, Rabada had sent the adrenaline flowing by announcing himself.
