This is one of the most memorable matches in the history of the IPL. RCB played Rajasthan Royals at Cape Town, South Africa, on April 18 2009 which resulted in a massive win for the Challengers. 

 In the 2009 season, RCB captain - Anil Kumble claimed the best-ever bowling figures. This was the first instance when an RCB player claimed a five-wicket haul which also included the priced scalps of Yusuf Pathan and youngster Ravindra Jadeja.

2. Jaydev Unadkat - 5/25

In the 2013 season of the IPL, Jaydev Unadkat bowled a dream spell against the Delhi Daredevils (DD), picking Sehwag, Jayawardene, Unmukt Chand, Kedar Jadhav, and Morne Morkel en-route to his Man of the Match award-winning 5-wicket haul. 

The Delhi batting unit was handcuffed by Jaydev Unadkat's pace variations. He became the second RCB bowler to bag a five-wicket haul.

3. Samuel Badree - 4/9
