#2. Finishing Stanlake's spell quickly

Debuting in the IPL, Billy Stanlake turned out to be impressive in his first outing as he finished with a spell of 1/29. The debutant finished his quota in the 11th over itself. A move that surprised one and all but it was some effective planning from the skipper as he persisted with the lanky Australian pacer.
Stanlake was in the middle of a very good spell as the run-making was made difficult for the opposition. As a result, he even bagged the crucial wicket of Ben Stokes at the ultimate delivery of his spell that choked the visitors completely, making it impossible to up the ante and leaving the home side to chase 126 in their 20 overs.
