Right-arm medium pacer Abhimanyu Mithun on Friday became the first bowler to register a hat-trick in a Vijay Hazare Trophy final. Mithun achieved the feat on his 30th birthday during the summit clash between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Alongside, Mithun also became the first Karnataka bowler to claim a List-A hat-trick.

The 30-year-old dismissed Shahrukh Khan (27), M. Mohammed (10) and Murugan Ashwin (0) in the final over of the Tamil Nadu innings. On the third delivery of the 50th over, he removed Shahrukh who was caught by Manish Pandey at long-off. Mohammed was the next to go as he was caught brilliantly by Devdutt Padikkal in the deep.

Murugan became the third victim of Mithun as he was caught at extra cover by Krishnappa Gowtham and brought an end to Tamil Nadu innings at 252.
