Axar Patel walks into this list having recorded the season’s only hat-trick. The Gujarat Lions were the victims as Axar put on a show picking up the wickets of Karthik, Bravo and Jadeja on 3 consecutive deliveries. He picked up the wicket of Smith just prior to this, making it 4 wickets in 5 balls. His spell was crucial as the Kings recorded a win against the Lions, knocking them over for 131 after putting 154 on the board.
