McClenaghan claimed the prized scalp of Gujarat Lions’ skipper Suresh Raina in his first spell. And when Gujarat seemed like running away with the match, he came on to bowl in the 16th over and claimed three wickets in two back-to-back overs to end up with bowling figures of 4-21-4 and thus giving Gujarat a scare of a loss.
