LPL 2024: The Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024 has commeced and after only two days into the league, some records have already started tumbling down. From franchise-record chases, to hat-tricks, to highest unbeaten partnership, the league is delivering on all fronts, as defending champions Kandy Falcons have already registered a thumping and a loss in the space of 24 hours.

Not just this, Shadab Khan has announced his return of form by grabbing a sensational hat-trick during Match 3 of LPL 2024 between Colombo Strikers and Kandy Falcons, as Colombo thumped the reigning champions by 51 runs.

"I think when I went to bat, it was turning a bit. I had a talk with Thisara to take the game deep and we will go hard at the pacers at the end of the innings. I didn't know that it's the second hat-trick of LPL, I only know that it's my first," said a delighted Shadab Khan during the post-match presentation ceremony, as he was awarded the Man of the Match.
