Triple Wicket Maiden In Indian Premier League

However, taking three wickets in an over without conceding a single run is rare, and only a few bowlers have achieved this. Let us look at these bowlers from IPL who clinched three wickets bowling a maiden over.

Jasprit Bumrah (IPL 2022)

Jasprit Bumrah, considered one of the prime pacers in modern-day cricket, entered the elite list due to his triple wicket maiden in the recent edition of IPL. In a match of IPL, when Mumbai Indians clashed against Kolkata Knight Riders, batting first, KKR put a target of 166 on the board. However, what caught everyone's eye in the first innings was Bumrah's sensational three wickets in the 18th over without conceding even a single run. In the 18th over, when KKR was already in a difficult position with 156 for five wickets down, Bumrah's stunner demolished the KKR batting line-up. Bumrah clinched five wickets in return for just ten runs in his spell of four overs.

Umran Malik (IPL 2022)

The young talent from Srinagar is ruling the league with his thunderbolt deliveries. In the match against Punjab, Umran did a miracle in the final over of the Punjab Kings' inning, leaving everyone completely stunned. Bowling a last over is quite tricky, as a bowler is expected to concede maximum runs in the final over. Umran clinched three wickets in the final over without conceding a single run. With his lightning speed and accuracy, he demolished Punjab's batting line-up with four wickets and conceded just 28 runs in his four overs.

Samuel Badree (IPL 2017)

The West Indian spinner achieved the feat of a triple wicket maiden in the 2017 edition of the league against Mumbai Indians. Badree first got the wicket of Parthiv, caught by his West Indies team-mate Chris Gayle at short cover. Next ball, MI surprised by sending McCleneghan. But he perished trying a big shot off a full toss. The hat-trick ball was a googly that Rohit failed to read, and the ball crashed into the middle stump. He also bowled a maiden over with his hat-trick, which eventually led him to this elite list of triple wicket maiden.

Jaydev Unadkat (IPL 2017)

The young left-arm Pacer was in great form in the 2017 edition of the IPL. Being Rising Pune Supergiants' principal asset in their bowling, Unadkat did a miracle with the ball in the match against SRH. Unadkat became the third bowler in IPL to bowl a triple maiden after Samuel Badree, the first and Lasith Malinga. The Pune bowler held his nerves under pressure and picked up the wickets of Bipul Sharma (8), Rashid Khan (3) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (0).

Lasith Malinga (IPL 2013)

The Sri Lankan legend has ruled the league for a long time with his toe-crushing yorkers. Although he has retired from the game, his name still lies on the list of numerous records. In the 2013 edition of IPL, in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the right arm Pacer clinched three wickets with a maiden in the penultimate over the SRHs inning. Thus, he became the first bowler to achieve the feat. Malinga's sensational bowling efforts were enough to seal MI's victory over SRH.
