#4 Match 40: 1/20 vs Rising Pune Supergiants

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

In this game, he, along with Mustafizur Rahman, displayed the art of death bowling. On a difficult batting track—a rarity in India—he had somewhat of a field trip bowling in the final overs as Pune succumbed to his superior level of bowling.

The Sunrisers could only muster a score of 137 runs in their 20 overs. Despite the paltry score, David Warner was confident that his bowlers had what it took to defend it – and he was proved right.

After a terrific start, where Bhuvi got Ajinkya Rahane out on a duck in the very first over, it all came down the final 4 overs. It is in the death overs where the young Indian showed what he is made of. He bowled some deadly yorkers to squeeze the life out of Dhoni’s men – ending with figures of 20/1 after four overs and helping his team register a 4-run win.
