I was going through the list of older hat tricks across formats and I'm very impressed by Aaqib Javed getting Ravi Shastri, Azharuddin, and Tendulkar all out in successive balls in an ODI against India in 1991. That too as a hat trick at the age of 19 (or under 23 at least, if we assume the age is inflated). "Champion of Champions" Shastri, the wristy Ajju, and the Little Master himself.

What is the best hat trick in terms of the batsmen's caliber? Are there any other similar instances where the three batsmen to get out are as esteemed as these three?
 
Irfan Pathan's hatrick was pretty good, Salman Butt, Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf.
