5 memorable moments from the Rising Pune Supergiants-Sunrisers Hyderabad match that don't fade away

5) The Nehrajee onslaught

Nehra’s stock keeps rising in the IPL

Ashish Nehra used to be the subject of mockery for many. Right now, however, the respect for him is such that no-one dares to say his name without adding a ‘ji’ in the end—a Hindi term used as a sign of respect for someone deserving.

And none is more deserving than Nehra—not against Pune at least.

With 14 to defend off the last over, Warner threw the ball at the veteran and he bowled 3 beautiful balls upfront to give away only 2 runs while taking a wicket in his 3rd. With 12 needed off the last 3, the match was virtually won, but a six from Dhoni changed the equation.

However, 2 more great deliveries stopped Pune in their tracks and threw them out of the tournament. Nehra returned with figures of 3/29 in his allotted 4 overs.
