The occurrence of hat-tricks in tournaments like the Indian Premier League (IPL) can dramatically shift the momentum of the game. A hat-trick, where a bowler dismisses three consecutive batsmen in three consecutive deliveries, is a rare and exhilarating event in cricket. 

The unpredictability of hat-tricks adds to the excitement of the IPL. While some seasons may witness multiple hat-tricks, others may go by without a single occurrence. This variance underscores the unpredictability and competitiveness of cricket, where a moment of brilliance from a bowler can swiftly change the course of a match.

IPL has seen its fair share of breathtaking hat-tricks, each adding to the rich tapestry of cricketing history. When a bowler achieves this remarkable feat in the IPL, it's not just about individual glory; it often signifies a pivotal turning point in the match, swinging momentum in favour of the bowling side.

IPL has seen 22 hat-tricks by 19 bowlers from 2008 to 2023. Amit Mishra leads with three, followed by Yuvraj Singh with two.  In 2023, Rashid Khan secured the sole hat-trick of the season against Kolkata Knight Riders.
