IPL 2019: 3 best spells by Anil Kumble in IPL history

#2 4/16 vs Deccan Chargers, IPL 2010 3rd place play-off

Anil Kumble's 4-wicket haul helped Royal Challengers Bangalore qualify for the Champions League T20

Anil Kumble led the Royal Challengers Bangalore to the semi-finals in the 3rd season of the IPL. But, the Bangalore franchise lost their semi-final match against Mumbai Indians and had to play a 3rd place play-off to qualify for the Champions League T20.

Their opponents were none other than Deccan Chargers, the team which defeated RCB in the 2009 IPL final. Anil Kumble led the RCB bowling attack from the front in that match as he picked up the wicket of Adam Gilchrist on the fourth ball of the match. With the captain back in the hut, Deccan Chargers kept on losing wickets at regular intervals and were reduced to 27/4 by the RCB bowlers.

Anil Kumble then dismissed DR Smith as the Chargers lost their 5th wicket in the 9th over of the innings. The lower order tried to take the team's total past 100 but Anil Kumble took 2 wickets in the 19th over to shatter the Deccan Chargers for a meagre 82 runs total.

This was the last IPL match of Anil Kumble's career and the legend won the man of the match award in his final IPL game.
