#6 Dhawal Kulkarni’s spell at Chinnaswamy

The pitch at the Chinnaswamy stadium is always made with only one intention: to make it a batting haven. So when a bowler is able to get the wickets of Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli within 2 overs of his spell, he deserves a mention on every list of similar vein.

As the Royal Challengers were out to chase 159 runs, many expected it to be a very easy chase for a team filled with star batsmen. However, Dhawal Kulkarni had other plans.

By the time he finished his 3rd over, he already took 4 wickets and gave away only 8 runs in the process. No bowler has ever bowled like that against RCB’s line-up and perhaps no bowler ever will.
