The 2016 IPL final between RCB and SRH will mainly be remembered for Kohli's side choking from a comfortable position in the run chase and falling agonisingly short yet again. However, what is often forgotten (but should not be) is Shane Watson's dastardly spell of bowling which put RCB in such a position in the first place.

Watson delivered four horrific overs, conceding 61 runs and going wicketless. Having been taken to the cleaners initially by Dhawan and Warner, the Aussie was tasked with bowling at the death and fared even worse, offering up some juicy half volleys to Ben Cutting who gleefully tonked them over the ropes.

Watson's 61 were the most runs ever conceded by a bowler in an IPL final and his spell probably cost RCB the match.
