It is the best spell of bowling ever seen in the IPL and it still remains something that has to be seen.
The left-arm Pakistan paceman Sohail Tanvir made life tough for the Chennai Super Kings in 2008, when he took 6-14 off his four overs.
As a direct result, the Super Kings only made 109 from their innings a total the Royals; top-order managed to chase down in less than 15 overs, proving that bowlers do have their place in the IPL and Twenty 20 cricket.
