#3 Irfan Pathan
Irfan Pathan stormed the cricketing world in the early 2000s with his left-arm pace bowling. His ability to swing the leather both ways impressed the then Indian captain Sourav Ganguly who handed him his debut in 2003.
It took just three years for Irfan to get his first Test hat-trick but sadly there was none after that. In 2006 India toured Pakistan and the third Test saw both teams lock horns at the National Stadium in Karachi. India chose to field after winning the toss and Irfan made full use of the morning conditions. With the fourth delivery of the day, the seamer sent back Salman Butt as his catch was easily taken by Rahul Dravid at slip.
He next got Younis Khan trapped right in front of the wicket and then sneaked through the defence of Mohammad Yusuf to sent him packing too. Unfortunately, India still lost the Test by 341 runs and after few years Irfan ran out of fizz.
