It may have been over three days since Rinku Singh did magic in the final over of the match between KKR and GT, but fans and former cricketers continue to praise his performance.

Mohammad Kaif, who played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore between 2011-2013, name-dropped Virat Kohli and drew his similarities with Rinku Singh.

“See, Virat Kohli was the same age when he started playing well. Kohli used to play 5-6 for RCB in the initial years; so does Rinku Singh. What a performance. The last six that he hit, he actually charged down the track for that. No one had expected KKR to win, everyone had switched off the TV. But Rinku was there,” Kaif said on Star Sports.

Virat Kohli was 23 years old when he made his mark in the league in the 2011 season of the tournament, scoring 557 runs in 16 matches at a terrific average of 46.41.

Rinku Singh’s bat echoed in the last over against Gujarat Titans. The 5 boundaries that came out of his bat in the last over were not just boundaries, but a miracle. Actually Gujarat Titans had given a target of 205 runs to KKR. In response, KKR had scored 176 runs for 7 wickets in 19 overs. KKR needed 29 runs in the last over. Celebration already started in Gujarat’s camp, as scoring 29 runs in 6 balls seemed almost impossible. In the last over, Yash Dayal came on the attack and taking a single on the first ball, Umesh Yadav gave strike to Rinku Singh. After this, a miracle happened with Rinku’s bat– Rinku Singh hit 5 consecutive sixes to win the match for KKR.
