Rinku Singh did a miracle in the last over for KKR in their match against GT last night. The KKR required 28 runs to win off the last five balls and Rinku smashed 30 runs (5 consecutive sixes) in five deliveries to seal this impossible victory.
Following the game, the Knight Riders posted an emotional video of Shreyas Iyer reacting to the side’s win, as he talked to Rinku, as well as captain Nitish Rana.
“Bhaiya, kaise ho? (How are you, brother?) God’s plan!” Rinku said to Shreyas on the video call, to which Shreyas replied, “Rinku bhaiya zindabad (Long live Rinku!).”
Nitish, then, also joined the conversation as he asked Shreyas whether he saw the entire innings. “Dekh raha tha ki nahi? Yaad aa rahi hai teri (Did you watch the innings? We are missing you),” Nitish said.
Shreyas also said that he had “goosebumps” watching the innings.
“Rinku keh raha tha last year ki tarah chhodunga nahi, Khatm karke aaunga. (Rinku said he won’t miss it like last year. He will finish the game),” Nitish further said, referring to the game against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2022 when the batter was dismissed on the penultimate delivery of the run-chase.
The Kolkata Knight Riders will play their next match on April 14 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
