Unique Cricket Records: Taking 5 wickets in T20 format is no less than a stormy century for a batsman. At the same time, when a bowler takes a hat-trick in this format, it is no less than a miracle. These are the records that we have heard, but if we say that he took 5 wickets in the last over of T20, then hardly anyone will believe it. But we are talking about such an Indian bowler who has proved the definition of 'cricket is a game of uncertainties' correct.
Who is that deadly bowler?
We are talking about Indian fast bowler Abhimanyu Mithun, who could not make headlines in international cricket. But Mithun's name was enough in the domestic circuit. These are those bowlers who have hat-tricks in their names in all three formats. However, this record is recorded in his name only in domestic cricket. Talking about Abhimanyu's international record, he played only 4 Tests and 5 ODIs for the Indian team. Abhimanyu Mithun, who debuted in 2010, took 9 wickets in Tests and only 3 wickets in ODIs.
Hat-trick in debut match
Abhimanyu may not have proved lucky in international cricket but it seems as if his luck has been kind to him in domestic tournaments. He had made his debut in Ranji memorable. He made his debut for Karnataka in 2009 and created a stir in the 60th over against Uttar Pradesh. Abhimanyu achieved a hat-trick by dismissing Piyush Chawla, Aamir Khan and RP Singh consecutively in this over.
Had done a miracle in T20
Abhimanyu's name came into limelight when he performed a miracle in the last over of T20. He created history in the semi-final match of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Mithun, who came to bowl the last over, started the sequence of wickets with the first ball. He created a stir by dismissing Himanshu Rana, Rahul Tewatia, Sumit Kumar and Amit Mishra on the first four balls of the over. After this, he bowled a wide and took the wicket of Jayant Yadav on the 5th ball in a single over. His spell is still remembered even today.
