While the first half of IPL 2021 saw some amazing knocks with the bat, some bowlers proved themselves with their match-changing hauls. We have a look at the bowlers who turned the fortune of matches i

5/15 - Andre Russell (Kolkata Knight Riders)

The big-hitter made huge splash with the ball in IPL 2021. Russell returned with sensational figures of 5/15 in just two overs as Mumbai Indians were bowled out for just 152 in Chennai. Starting from the 18th over, Russell dismissed Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Marco Jansen, Rahul Chahar and Jasprit Bumrah to complete the second five-wicket haul of the tournament. But his effort went in vain as Kolkata fell short by 10 runs.

4/27 - Rahul Chahar (Mumbai Indians)

The leg-spinner had an amazing time against Kolkata Knight Riders, taking 4/27 in Chennai. Chasing 152, Chahar dismissed Kolkata's top four batsmen to get the momentum in Mumbai's favour. Chahar was hit for a four and six in the ninth over by Shubman Gill. But the spinner had the last laugh as he had Gill caught at long-off, thus breaking the opening partnership at 72. Chahar then got Rahul Tripathi caught by keeper followed by Eoin Morgan holing out to deep mid-wicket. Chahar completed his spell by getting Nitish Rana stumped, setting a 10-run win for Mumbai.
