NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders' swashbuckling batter Rinku Singh smashed five consecutive sixes to pull off a thrilling three-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Needing 29 runs off the last over, Rinku whacked left-arm pacer Yash Dayal for five maximums on the trot to register a last-ball sensational victory.
Just when it seemed everything was lost for KKR after wily Afghanistan spinner and stand-in captain Rashid Khan had taken a hat-trick in the 17th over to reduce KKR to 155/7, Rinku (48 not out off 21 balls) did the Houdini Act to eke out one of the most memorable wins in the history of the Indian Premier League.
