#1 Jacques Kallis and Gautam Gambhir for Kolkata Knight Riders against Delhi Daredevils, 2014
The Kolkata Knight Riders, who ended up winning the IPL in 2014, had a pretty horrific start to their game against the Delhi Daredevils in Dubai. Jacques Kalli and Gautam Gambhir, two of the most accomplished batsmen in the IPL, both departed for ducks in the game. Kallis received an absolute beauty from Mohammed Shami off the 1st ball of the match. The ball reared up from a good length and Kallis could only offer a catch to Ross Taylor at slip.
The Daredevils seemed to have worked out that Gambhir had a tendency of playing in the air when he is presented with balls on his legs and hence, they stationed a short fine leg for Nathan Coulter-Nile. The ball on leg stump was duly played in the air to the fielder as Gambhir departed for a duck as well. The KKR ended up making 166 and in a game that turned out to be a tight one, the Daredevils eventually prevailed thanks to a fine innings from JP Duminy.
