Not only did he take his first hat-trick, he also took five wickets in an innings for the first time in first-class cricket. The SBP (State Bank of Pakistan) batting line-up was in trouble when the fast bowler took a brilliant hat trick. At that time State Bank scored 133 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 45 overs.
The 25-year-old fast bowler has faced limited opportunities in international cricket due to recent injuries.
