5) Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 4-0-29-4, Hyderabad Sunrisers v Gujarat Lions, Rajkot

Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the Purple cap in this IPL

Sunrisers Hyderabad, Champions of IPL 2016, registered one of the most thumping wins of the season when they beat Lions, one of the best sides in the tournament, by 10 wickets with 31 balls remaining.

It was set up B Kumar, Purple Cap winner when he rocked the Lions picking up 4 wickets – Finch, Raina, Nath and Steyn. Finch’s wicket came in the very first over but the Lions did well reasonably for a while before losing their way. Kumar returned in the death to do what he has done right through – squeeze the opposition.

He picked up 3 of his 4 wickets in an excellent last over, ensuring the Lions couldn’t get a decent total. Warner and Dhawan smashed half centuries with a 137 run partnership to win the game with ease.
