#3 Umesh Yadav 3/23 v Kings XI Punjab

After two great spells bowled in a losing cause, we finally have a spell where the bowler was from the winning side. RCB has to give Umesh Yadav a major share of credit for the victory against Kings XI Punjab. Batting first, R Ashwin's side went off to a flyer and scored 32 runs in 3 overs. It was when Umesh Yadav bowled one of the most impactful overs in this year's IPL, in which he gave just 4 runs and took 3 wickets.

Mayank Agarwal, Aaron Finch, and Yuvraj Singh became his victims, with Singh being dismissed on a ball worth watching a hundred times. The former Kolkata Knight Riders' player conceded just 23 runs in a batting-friendly pitch of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, which makes his spell even more impressive.
