Didn't know about my hat-trick: Perera

Didn't know about my hat-trick: Perera

Rediff.com13 Feb 2016

Sri Lanka's medium pace bowler Thisara Perera said he did not realise that he had taken a hat-trick till his teammates informed him about it, as his entire concentration was on bowling in the death overs during the second T20 International against India in Ranchi on Friday. Although Sri Lanka lost the second game against India by 69 runs here last night to concede the advantage, Perera stole the show by becoming the first Sri Lankan bowler to take a hat-trick in T20 Internationals. "Actually, I didn't know that it was a hat-trick. Because that time my concentration was about my death bowling," Perera said at the post-match press conference here. "My teammates told me I got a hat-trick. Then I thought it was very good for me," he said when asked when did he come to know about the feat. Perera first dismissed Hardik Pandya in the fourth ball of the final over and then sent back Suresh Raina in the next delivery. In the last ball of the over, he had Yuvraj Singh caught at long-on. By the time Perera's hat-trick came it was a bit too late and thus, it did not help Sri Lanka's cause. Perera said it was good to get his second hat-trick in international cricket. "This is my second one -- the first hat-trick was in an ODI (against Pakistan)," he said. Defending his team's decision to bowl first upon winning the toss, Perera said, "We thought dew factor could play a role at the latter stage of the match. So we wanted to bowl first."
