#1 Dhawal Kulkarni’s 4/14 vs RCB Qualifier 1 ,2016

On a slowish Chinnaswamy wicket, GL were put into bat by Virat Kohli who up to that point had scored an inhuman 919 runs in 14 matches. RCB were chasing 159 and it looked easy for RCB with the greatest chaser this world has ever seen at their disposal. But, Kulkarni silenced the Bengaluru crowd by getting Kohli out for a duck with a cross seam delivery. He brilliantly mixed up the slower off-cutter with pacy deliveries.
In his 2nd over, he picked up the wicket of Gayle with a slow slider and got Rahul for a golden duck with a beautiful outswinger. He picked up the wicket of Sachin Baby in his next over and almost won GL the match single-handedly.
But there is a popular saying in Bengaluru “If Kohli doesn’t get you, ABD will” and unfortunately for GL the saying came true that day and RCB won.
