First Cricket World Cup hat-trick was taken by an Indian
Former Indian pacer Chetan Sharma dismissed three New Zealand batsmen in three successive deliveries on October 31, 1987, in Nagpur, becoming the first bowler to take a hat-trick in a World Cup match. It was also the first hat-trick taken by an Indian and the first all-bowled hat-trick in international cricket. Sharma represented India in 23 Tests and 65 ODIs.
