Cricket is a game of uncertainties. Unexpected events are a common experience, and the Indian Premier League (IPL) is the boss of all these things. All the predictions fail here and there is no room for boredom and other unexciting things. One such uncanny happening is a batsman dismissing another batsman.

We usually tend to ignore such events and forget them soon. However, these events take everyone by surprise, when we look back at the past. There have been many batsmen who have dismissed some outstanding and in-form batsmen with the ball in hand, probably because of the latter&#8217;s overconfidence and tendency to smash them.

On this note, let us take a look at 5 batsmen, who have taken a wicket in IPL:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-238069" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ajinkya-Rahane-nets-session.jpg" alt="Ajinkya Rahane" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-238069" class="wp-caption-text">Ajinkya Rahane.

The world knows Ajinkya Rahane as a classy and technically sound batsman. But only a few know that he has scalped a wicket in the IPL as well. He played for the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the first two editions of the IPL. In the game against KXIP during 2009 season, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-sachin-tendulkar-praises-hardik-pandyas-truly-outstanding-hitting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Sachin Tendulkar</strong></a>, the then MI skipper, decided to play a gamble and handed the ball to Rahane on a dry Centurian pitch.

The move worked as Rahane foxed Luke Pomersbach, who dragged the ball into the stumps. That remains the only over that he has bowled in his whole career till date. He had conceded five runs in the over and hasn&#8217;t bowled since then. Though he has become one of the key players in the Indian team and opens the innings for Rajasthan Royals (RR) as well.

Shikhar Dhawan was the man with golden arm for the Deccan Chargers in 2011 and 2012. Even though he is a batsman, the left-hander has four wickets to his name in the IPL. All of his four wickets are huge. Virender Sehwag, Sourav Ganguly, Shaun Marsh, and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/jonny-bairstow-and-david-warner-are-gonna-be-big-losses-says-kane-williamson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>David Warner</strong></a> had got out to Dhawan when he played for the Chargers. However, he was banned by the ICC from bowling recently for his illegal bowling action.

After Deccan Chargers was defunct in 2013, he joined hands with SRH and remained an important member of the team. However, currently, he is with the Delhi Capitals and is going great guns while opening the innings.

Aaron Finch was made the captain of the Pune Warriors India in IPL 2013. He had a horrendous season as a skipper, as the team managed to win only 2 of the 10 games under his leadership. In the match against MI, he came to bowl the first over and conceded only 3 runs.

He came back to bowl his left arm spin again in the 9th over and dismissed the ‘God of the Cricket’ <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sachin-tendulkar-refutes-conflict-of-interest-notice-related-to-cac-and-the-ipl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Sachin Tendulkar</strong></a>. Mitchell Marsh pulled off an excellent catch just inside the rope. That remains the only wicket in his IPL career. He has bowled a total of 43 deliveries conceding 67 runs so far in the IPL but Tendulkar&#8217;s wicket will always remain memorable for him.

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

After a successful IPL career, which saw him leading Deccan Chargers to title victory in 2009, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ricky-ponting-likens-rishabh-pant-to-adam-gilchrist-says-he-will-get-more-test-hundreds-than-dhoni/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Adam Gilchrist</strong></a> decided to retire after the 2013 season. He was playing for the Kings XI Punjab then and the team had technically won the game with the opposition needed 50 runs in the final over. This is when Gilly decided to have some fun with the ball in hand.

To enjoy his final few moments in the IPL, he handed the gloves to Praveen Kumar and decided to bowl for the first and the last time in his career. And he picked up Harbhajan Singh&#8217;s wicket on the very first ball. His celebration after that wicket is still one of the most memorable moments in IPL history.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-216323" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Lendl-Simmons-IPL.jpg" alt="Lendl Simmons IPL" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-216323" class="wp-caption-text">Lendl Simmons IPL. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Lendl Simmons was an important member of the MI camp. In his debut season (2014), skipper Rohit Sharma handed him the ball to get the quota of four overs of the fifth bowler completed. As expected, the move completely backfired.

Robin Uthappa hit him for a couple of sixes. However, the batsman became too ambitious only to give away his wicket to the same bowler. Uthappa was dismissed on 80 off the final delivery of his second over by Simmons. But the damage had already been done. KKR comfortably won the match with 10 balls remaining.

IPL: 5 Batsmen you might not know have taken a wicket in the tournament

Cricket is a game of uncertainties. Unexpected events are a common experience, and the Indian Premier League (IPL) is the boss of all these things.
