1) Brett Lee
The Australian speedster and hero of the film “Unindian” became the first bowler to take a hattrick in T20 Internationals on September 16, 2007, at Newlands, Cape Town. He dismissed Shakib, Mortaza, and Kapali. His hattrick is only in the history of T20 World Cups till date. Lee along with McGrath was the deadliest pace bowling duo in the 2000s. Two very different types of bowlers, they teamed up well to give Australia great success. McGrath was more of a line and length bowler whereas Lee had extra pace. Lee retired from international cricket in 2012.
