5 memorable performances in IPL 2016 from the Purple Cap winner, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, that don't fade away

#1 Match 15: 4/29 vs Gujarat Lions

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

This is the game where we saw Bhuvneshwar Kumar's wicket-taking nous at its best. After winning the toss, Sunrisers chose to bowl first on a good batting track. However, if one watched the way the Gujarat batsmen played, they would have mistook the pitch for a graveyard for batsmen.

Bhuvi was getting swing off the pitch and he didn't take any time to settle down, sending Aaron Finch back to the pavillion in the very first over. The Gujarat batsmen found his deliveries unplayable as the top and lower order fell to his wrath.

In the last over of the match, the 26-year-old got Suresh Raina, Akshdeep Nath and Dale Steyn out in a matter of 4 balls. His brilliant 4/29 in 4 overs set the tone for a 10-wicket win for the visitors.
