List of IPL hit wickets

Hit wicket is one of the very unusual dismissals in cricket as we have seen this dismissal very rare in the game. While the Indian Premier League (IPL) is more than a decade older, we have already experienced more than 10 hit wicket dismissals in this tournament.  

Just like other dismissals, the hit wicket is also a part of the dismissals in the MCC law (35.1 Out Hit Wicket).
