IPL 2016: Top 10 moments of week 5

7. How do you like me now?

Close finishes are something we haven’t seen in this edition of the IPL. At least, it was something we hadn’t seen until the Royal Challengers had made their way out to Mohali to face the lowly Kings XI Punjab. Little did they know what to expect.

Shane Watson’s season in the IPL thus far had been somewhat subdued. Mind you, the Challengers had indeed paid good money to secure his services. However, he finally got it right when he bowled a near-perfect penultimate over to deny the Kings a win at their own backyard. He picked an additional two wickets, had an economy rate of 5.50 and almost single-handedly, secured a one-run win for the Challengers. The win was immensely important as it ensured that the Challengers stayed in the hunt for a playoff spot.
