‘Good Friday’ turned out to be a special one for the bowlers in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), with as many as two bowlers claiming hat-tricks in two consecutive matches. In the first match on Friday, playing his first game for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Samuel Badree claimed a hat-trick against Mumbai Indians (MI) to derail their innings in a modest chase. In the second game on Friday, a faltering Gujarat Lions (GL) decided to hand Andrew Tye his IPL debut, and the right-arm pacer responded with a hat-trick in the final over of Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) innings.
