#2 Anil Kumble 4/16 - RCB v DC, 2009 in Johannesburg

Anil Kumble's 4 for 16 did not stop Deccan Chargers from winning the title

IPL 2009 was played in South Africa due to the general elections in India and Deccan Chargers were locking horns again Royal Challengers Bangalore. RCB won the toss and put DC to bat. DC suffered a blow in the first over when Kumble dismissed Gilchrist for 0. Gibbs held one end with a score of 53 and Symonds' 33 and Rohit Sharma's 24 helped DC score a promising 143.

RCB had a disastrous start to their innings, losing Jacques Kallis early on in the innings. India's first-ever IPL centurion Manish Pandey was the next to go. Van der Merve and Ross Taylor tried their best to resurrect the innings. RCB could never get going as they lost the wickets of Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli. RCB needed 15 in the last over and Robin Uthappa failed to deliver and all RCB could manage was 137, thus handing DC a 6-run win.

Anil Kumble was given the MOM for his brilliant spell where he picked 4 for 16 in 4 overs.
