It was in the 21st match of the 2012 edition, between RCB and Pune Warriors, when a young leg-spinner named Rahul Sharma realized what it was like to bowl to Christopher Henry Gayle.
Chasing a huge target of 183, RCB lost some early wickets. In the thirteenth over of the innings, Ganguly decided to bowl the young leg-spinner. Saurabh Tiwary, who was batting on the other end took a single on the first ball and then the juggernaut started. Five balls, five sixes - one over long off, the other one over deep mid wicket, next one over the bowler’s head, then over long on, and the last one towards deep square leg to end a long over from Rahul Sharma.
This is how the over went: 1, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6
