The cricket fraternity was totally taken aback by Rinku Singh’s batting masterclass in the 13th match of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League.
Kolkata Knight Riders were on the brink of tasting their second defeat of this season. Needless to say, Rinku Singh made a telling impact, especially in the last over of the run-chase against Gujarat Titans.
Rinku Singh kept believing in himself when he was under pressure. At that time, KKR required 28 runs off the last five balls, which looked clearly impossible when Gujarat Titans were totally in the game.
However, Rinku Singh let his willow do the talking and scripted history by helping his team chase down the target with his fearless brand of cricket, a moment that Rinku Singh, KKR and the fans will never forget.
Rinku Singh was constantly trying to hit the ball over the fence and he succeeded in doing it. He smashed five sixes on the trot off Yash Dayal’s bowling and steered KKR to a famous win over Gujarat Titans.
Shah Rukh Khan comes up with a special tweet for Rinku Singh
After the game, Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan took to his official Twitter handle and then posted a heartfelt tweet for Rinku Singh as the latter was the star of the show.
Besides that, Shah Rukh Khan also heaped praise on Nitish Rana and Venkatesh Iyer for chipping in with vital contributions. While Rinku Singh scored 48 off just 21 balls (1 four, 6 sixes), Nitish Rana scored 45 off 29 balls including 4 fours and 3 sixes.
On the other hand, Venkatesh Iyer scored 83 off 40 balls wherein he smacked 8 fours and 5 sixes. “JHOOME JO RINKUUUUU !!! My baby @rinkusingh235 And @NitishRana_27 & @venkateshiyer you beauties!!! And remember Believe that’s all. Congrats @KKRiders and @VenkyMysore take care of your heart sir,” Shah Rukh Khan tweeted.
