Kuldeep Yadav removed M. S. Dhoni and Manoj Tiwary in the same over as Robin Uthappa successfully stumped both the batsmen during the RPS innings. By doing so, Kuldeep became the second bowler after Amit Mishra (against Rajasthan Royals in 2009) to have two batsmen stumped in the same over in the IPL.
