History was created in the World Cup
Chetan Sharma was the first bowler to take a hat-trick in the ICC World Cup. He achieved this feat on 31 October 1987 against New Zealand in Nagpur. Chetan bowled Kiwi batsmen Ken Rutherford, Ian Smith and Ewen Chatfield in three consecutive balls in this match. Chetan’s height was not much, but he had the ability to dodge big batters with his bowling. He sent Pakistan’s batsman Mohsin Khan to the pavilion in the very first over of his first Test match. He became the third bowler to take a wicket in the very first over in the Test.

One ball had made a villain
Chetan Sharma has said many times that till now there has been one day in his life, which he would never like to miss. This day was April 18, 1986. The place was Sharjah. The final match was being played between India and Pakistan in the field. Pakistan had scored 242 runs losing 9 wickets in 49.5 overs. He needed 4 runs to win on the last ball. Everyone had agreed that India would win this match. Chetan Sharma tried to yorker the last ball, but Javed Miandad made him a full toss and hit him for a six. People’s eyes were left torn. At that time Chetan had become a villain in the eyes of the whole country.
