Salman Butt managed to play the first 3 balls. But no one could have imagined what would happen in the next 3 balls. In fact, Irfan took a hat-trick against Pakistan. First he sent Salman Butt to the pavilion and then Younus Khan became his victim. Mohammad Yusuf gave away his wicket on the last ball. In this way, Irfan took a hat-trick against Pakistan in the first over itself.
