In the third match of TNPL 2025, the experienced all-rounder Sonu Yadav grabbed the first hattrick of the season. The star cricketer while playing for Nellai Royal Kings picked three wickets on consecutive deliveries in the final over of the first innings and helped his side restrict Trichy Grand Cholas for 157.

Sonu Yadav Uses Slower Ball To Outfox Trichy Grand Cholas' Batters

Overall, Sonu Yadav is now the sixth player in the history of the Tamil Nadu Premier League to bag a hattrick. Sonu Yadav is a right-arm pacer and a powerful batter who was part of the RCB squad in the previous cycle. In this game, he bowled three overs for 22 runs and picked up three wickets.

The first of those wickets was of U Mukilesh. It was a slower length ball, outside off and the batter tried to heave it towards the leg side. However, he only managed an inside edge, and the ball shattered the stumps. The next wicket was of Saravana Kumar, and it was courtesy of a slower full delivery, outside off. Saravana hit it well, but not good enough to cross the long off fielder and was out on the very first ball.

The hattrick delivery was again a slower one. J Kousik was the batter and he heaved it to deep mid-wicket. The lack of pace, though, did the trick again and the batter was caught in the deep, giving Sonu Yadav, a memorable hattrick. You can watch the video here.

The hattrick kept Trichy under 160 when they were looking set to cross 165 after a handy cameo from R Rajkumar to back up a good 41 from HI Waseem Ahmed. Apart from Sonu Yadav, Emmanuel Cherian bowled well for Nellai Royal Kings with just 15 runs and a wicket in his three overs.
