what is hat trick in cricket

In cricket, a hat-trick occurs when a bowler dismisses three batsmen with consecutive deliveries, dismissing three different batsmen). The deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the pitch or the other teams innings, but must be three consecutive deliveries by the same bowler in the same match). The bowler can claim a hat-trick in cricket even if his three wickets in successive deliveries are spread across different overs. A hat-trick in cricket is considered legal only if the three successive dismissals are counted as a caught behind, direct bowled, leg-before-wicket (LBW), and stumpings. There are two notable types of hat-tricks in cricket, a double hat-trick and a team hat-trick. A double hat-trick is when a bowler claims four wickets in four successive deliveries, while a team hat-trick is when a bowler takes two wickets in successive deliveries and the wicket on the third ball bowled is a run-out affected by the bowler or a fielder.
