#3 Parvez Rasool

Parvez Rasool's hat-trick came against Saurashtra.

In one of the major upsets in the Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2017, Jammu & Kashmir defeated Saurashtra by 23 runs. Captain Parvez Rasool brought his A-game and performed well with both bat and ball to help his team script a famous win. Batting first, J&K could only manage 170 runs, thanks to half-centuries from Parvez Rasool (53 runs off 48 balls) and Ram Dayal (50 runs off 75 deliveries). Defending a small total, Saurashtra was blown away by Rasool’s hat-trick which included the wickets of Chirag Jani, Jaydev Unadkat and Shaurya Sanandia.

Parvez Rasool represented India in one T20I and one ODI. Against Bangladesh in Dhaka on June 15, 2014, he played his only ODI and took two wickets in the process. Three years later he returned to the national team in a T20I at Kanpur against England. He took the wicket of captain Eoin Morgan, giving away 32 runs in his four overs. He remains the only player from Jammu & Kashmir to have represent India.
