  1. Two hat-tricks in an innings

“Two hat-tricks in an innings” is another rare and tough feat in the cricket. In the two hat-tricks in an innings, the bowler has to take three consecutive wickets twice in the same innings. It has never happened in the international cricket but has happened twice in first-class cricket.

Former Australian and England cricketer Albert Trott had claimed two hat-tricks in the same innings when he was playing for Middlesex against Somerset in 1907. In that innings, Trott also had done double hat-trick (4 wickets in 4 consecutive balls) during one of his two hat-tricks.

On the other hand, in the Ranji Trophy (Indian domestic first-class cricket) 1963-64 season, Services pacer Joginder Rao had also claimed two hat-tricks in an innings.
