The cricket term hat trick appeared first in British print in 1858. It refers to one player scoring three times in a row. In cricket jargon, one bowler takes three wickets with three balls in a row. That player was then permitted to pass around his hat and collect a few modest "rewards" such as pennies. So runs one story. Another says the cricket club bought the hat-tricking player a new hat. There are many versions of how the hat trick became connected to soccer, hockey, etc. most of which don't have supporting evidence.
In the Reliance World Cup in 1987, Chetan Sharma took the first hat-trick in the history of tournament when he clean bowled Ken Rutherford, Ian Smith and Ewen Chatfieldof New Zealand off consecutive balls.
Because a sportsman's club used to mark the event by presenting him with a hat. A "hat-trick" is the taking of three wickets with three successive balls by the one bowler in cricket. The expression spread to other sports, such as football where it refers to the scoring of three goals in one match by one player.

From what i can gather, the first test cricket hat-trick was by Fred Spofforth on January 2nd 1879. He played for Australia and dismissed Vernon Royle, Francis MacKinnon and Tom Emmett of England. Hope that helps
