    "editor1": "<p>Kuldeep Yadav in September 2017 became the first Indian since Kapil Dev in 1991 to take a hat-trick in an ODI match. In the second ODI against Australia, Kuldeep dismissed Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins off consecutive deliveries to all but confirm India&#39;s victory in the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He said that former India captain M.S. Dhoni, who was keeping wickets for India at the time, had asked him to bowl at the stumps for the hat-trick delivery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I spoke to Virat bhai and asked him if I could bowl from the other end. He said once Chahal&#39;s spell was over, I could bowl from that end. I struck a very good rhythm and started bowling in the spot,&quot; Kuldeep said in a recent interaction on his Indian Premier League (IPL) side Kolkata Knight Riders&#39; website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I got my first wicket of Matthew Wade and then in the next ball, I plucked Ashton Agar. For the third ball, I asked Mahi bhai (M.S. Dhoni) what to bowl. When you have so many variations, you get confused. He just let me do whatever I felt was right but suggested that I kept it to the stumps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I kept a slip and gully in place. Luckily I bowled a good ball and got the edge. Getting a hat-trick at Eden Garden, that too in the first year of international cricket, is a big thing and this was one of the biggest moments of my life,&quot; Kuldeep recalled.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kuldeep would go on to pick a hat-trick again, this time in December 2019 against the West Indies. He thus became the first Indian bowler to have two ODI hat-tricks to his name.<\/p>\r\n",
