Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni are easily two of the biggest names in Indian cricket. They have played against the fiercest of bowlers all across the world and have easily tackled each and every one of them. Hence it was a rather shocking scene watching each of them getting out to relatively new bowlers during the first week of IPL.

Take nothing away from the bowlers though, as both the deliveries would have taken the wicket of probably any batsman in the whole world. And who were the agents of destruction - Leg spinners Mayank Markande and Mujeeb-ur-Rahman from Afghanistan.

Markande has had a dream season so far, having taken 7 wickets so far in 3 matches, but his best delivery came against the captain of CSK, who clearly didn't have any answer to a googly from the young leggie as he was trapped right in front of the stumps.

However, the title of the best delivery so far goes to the Afghan leggie Mujeeb-ur-Rahman, who bowled a tremendous googly that went right through the gap between the bat and the leg of Virat Kohli. Kohli was left flabbergasted as the ball came in and went on to hit the stumps.
