#6 Graeme Smith and Swapnil Asnodkar for Rajasthan Royals against Deccan Chargers, 2009

In 2009, the Rajasthan Royals were at the receiving end of a top-order collapse at Port Elizabeth in the game against the Deccan Chargers. Chasing 142 for victory, the Royals got off to the worst possible start. Off the 2nd delivery of the innings from fast bowler Fidel Edwards, Graeme Smith played an uppercut but could not get the distance and it went to the third man fielder.

Two balls later, his opening partner Swapnil Asnodkar responded late to a call for a single and was run out to have the Royals reeling at 1 for 2. However, they recovered and with some contributions from the lower order, they eventually won the game by 3 wickets.
