The best-ever bowling figures in the IPL in a defeat were registered by leggie Adam Zampa in 2016. 6/19 A Zampa RPS v SRH Vizag 2016 In a match between now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant and Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2016, Hyderabad batted first and scored 137 runs on the back of 30s from ShikharDhawan and Kane Williamson. When Adam Zampa was introduced into the attack, he turned the match around on its head. Zampa went on to pick up 6 wickets from his 4 overs while conceding just 19 runs. This included the prized scalps of Kane Williamson, Yuvraj Singh, Moises Henriques, Deepak Hooda, NamanOjha and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. In reply, RPS were restricted to 133 and lost the match by 4 runs. 5/14 A Rajpoot KXIP v SRH Hyderabad 2018 In IPL 2018, fast bowler Ankit Rajpoot had a good outing. Representing Kings XI Punjab, Rajpoot picked up 5 wickets from his 4 overs, giving away just 14 runs at an economy rate of 3.50. He got the better of each of Hyderabad's top 4 in ShikharDhawan, Kane Williamson, WriddhimanSaha and Manish Pandey. He then dismissed all-rounder Mohammad Nabi to complete his 5-er. Hyderabad managed 132/6 from their 20 overs. Punjab were all out for just 119 and lost the match by 13 runs. Despite that, Rajput received the Man of the Match award. 5/15 A Russell KKR v MI Chennai 2021 Andre Russell is known for his explosive batting and smart bowling. To be fair, his bowling is quite underrated as Russell is capable of sending down thunderbolts at over 140 kmph and is quite accurate. His fine death bowling was on display in the 5th match of IPL 2021 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians. Mumbai were going well and were looking to ramp up the scoring in the last few overs when Russell was introduced into the attack in the 18th over. Off his second delivery, he dismissed Kieron Pollard to give Mumbai a jolt. He then took out Krunal Pandya, Marco Jansen, Rahul Chahar and JaspritBumrah to complete his 5 wicket haul from just 12 deliveries while conceding 15 runs to peg Mumbai back. However, the Kolkata Knight Riders batting collapsed and was restricted to 142 for 7 from 20 overs, losing the match by 10 runs.
