Sam Curran took a hat-trick in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to claim a remarkable 14-run victory for Kings XI Punjab.

Delhi Capitals initially looked like they were headed for a comfortable win chasing 167.

It's when they reached 144-3 with 21 balls left that the 20-year-old showcased his incredible talent, taking four wickets in just five balls.

Skipper R. Ashwin (2/31) and Mohammad Shami 2/27) also played crucial roles in the victory run.

Punjab now has moved second in the points table.
