#4 Kochi Tuskers Kerala (74) vs Deccan Chargers
The 32nd group match of the fourth edition of IPL was between Kochi Tuskers and Deccan Chargers (DC) – two sides that are no longer a part of the league. Kumar Sangakkara’s knock of 65 off 47 ensured DC posted a defendable total of 129 in 20 overs.
Cameron White chipped in with 31 runs, but no other batsmen apart from Sangakkara and White scored in double digits.
In reply, Kochi Tuskers had a poor start. Out of the first six batsmen, five were dismissed for a duck and only the lower-order managed to put some runs on the board. The likes of Jayawardene, Ravindra Jadeja, Thisara Perera and Vinay Kumar scored 4, 23, 22 and 18, and were the only run scorers for Kochi in that particular game.
The fast bowler duo of Dale Steyn and Ishant Sharma ran through the Kochi's line-up. They picked a total of eight wickets between them.
The first over bowled by eventual Player of the Match, Ishant Sharma, was the stand out in the match which saw Jayawardene, Parthiv Patel and Raiphi Gomez’s dismissed in a span of four balls.
