Irfan Pathan became the first bowler in Test history to take a hat-trick in the very first over of an innings.

On January 29, 2006, Irfan Pathan took a hat-trick in the first over of a Test against Pakistan at the National Stadium in Karachi..

He dismissed Salman Butt, Younis Khan, and Mohammad Yousuf (then Yousuf Youhana) on the 4th, 5th, and 6th balls.

While Harbhajan Singh was the first Indian to take a Test hat-trick, Pathan’s feat is unique for happening in the very first over.
