Rinku Singh’s Explosive Finish Steals the Show

When KKR were struggling in the middle overs and losing wickets regularly, Rinku Singh stood tall under pressure. The left-hander played a brilliant knock of 83 runs off 51 balls, smashing 7 fours and 5 sixes.

The highlight of his innings came in the final over, where he unleashed an incredible display of power hitting. Facing Digvesh Rathi, Rinku hammered four consecutive sixes, turning a modest total into a competitive one.

Despite his heroics, KKR couldn’t add runs off the final delivery as a controversial review confirmed a glove touch, ending the innings at 155.

Dramatic Final Over Turns the Momentum

The last over had everything including power hitting, review drama, and tension till the final ball:

• Four consecutive sixes by Rinku Singh
• A wide decision overturned on review
• Final ball UltraEdge confirmation
• No run taken on the last delivery

Rinku’s decision to retain strike and attack proved effective, even though it limited Sunil Narine’s involvement.

Early Collapse Hurt KKR

KKR’s innings did not start well as they lost early wickets in the powerplay. Key batters failed to build partnerships, putting pressure on the middle order.

The biggest impact came from Mohsin Khan, who delivered an outstanding spell, picking up crucial wickets and dismantling the top order.

At one stage, KKR looked unlikely to cross 140, but Rinku’s innings changed the direction of the match.
