Basketball: Double-Double
American Football: Rushing or passing 400-yards. Or scoring 3 touchdowns
Rugby: no idea, don't follow.
Hat-tricks in soccer is relatively rare. I think out of all of these, a double-double in basketball is probably the closest, given how likely it's to occur in a game and what kind of an impact it has for the team.

hatrick in soccer or any goal sport is like a triple century in cricket. its super rare.
double-double in basketball is like a hundred. or scoring 40+ points, getting 15+ rebounds. i dont know what the baseball equivalent would be. probably a home run of any kind.
