Kolkata Knight Riders’ Sheldon Jackson made it into the history books of IPL when he got out hit-wicket to Rising Pune Supergiant bowler Washington Sundar. Sundar’s delivery forced Jackson to go back and he dislodged the bails with his foot in the process. He ran for a single but the square leg umpire raised the finger and Jackson had to walk.

Playing his third match of IPL, Jackson became the ninth batsmen to be dismissed hit-wicket and joins the likes of Yuvaraj Singh, David Warner, Misbah-ul-Haq. Here is a list of the players who have been hit-wicket in the IPL.

1. Sheldon Jackson

Team: Kolkata Knight Riders
Against: Rising Pune Supergiant
Year: 2017
