Prince Yadav of Purani Dilli 6 scripted history by becoming the first bowler to claim a hat-trick in the ongoing first edition of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Yadav achieved this milestone during the match against Central Delhi Kings on Friday.

In the 18th over, with Central Delhi Kings advancing towards a formidable total, Yadav first sent Keshav Dabas back to the pavilion, caught at deep. The right-arm fast bowler then trapped Sumit Kumar LBW and completed the hat-trick by dismissing Harish Dagar, who missed a full toss and was out leg before wicket. "It felt incredible to pick up those three consecutive wickets," Yadav shared, noting the special significance of recording the league's first hat-trick.

Despite Yadav's 3/47 bowling figures, Central Delhi Kings defeated Purani Dilli 6 by 109 runs. Discussing his death over bowling, Yadav explained his practice of perfecting Yorkers and slower deliveries. Purani Dilli 6 will face North Delhi Strikers next at Shri Arun Jaitley Stadium.
