The only bowler to take a hat-trick of hat-tricks, Amit Mishra, is one of the greatest bowlers in the history of Indian Premier League. Mishra started his IPL career with his home franchise, Delhi Capitals (Delhi Daredevils at the time), in 2008 and played for them for the first three seasons. He played for Deccan Chargers and Sunrisers Hyderabad during 2011-12 and 2013-14 respectively before moving back to Delhi Capitals in 2015.

Mishra has thus far featured in 136 IPL matches grabbing 146 wickets at a decent economy of 7.39 runs per over. He is only behind Lasith Malinga in the highest wicket-takers list.

The Delhi spinner is also the eleventh highest paid bowler in the history of IPL with a total salary of INR 27.75 crores.

Thus the 36-year-old was paid a hefty sum of INR 19 Lakhs for every wicket he has grabbed thus far in IPL.
