Rinku Singh went into God mode in the last over of the chase in the match against Gujarat Titans as he struck five sixes to help his side complete 205-run chase.
Former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag has now compared Rinku Singh with MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar while making a staggering comment on his never-seen-before feat in IPL.
“There is a belief in KKR team that Rinku Singh is still there. When MS Dhoni had started finishing off games, there was a belief that Dhoni is still there. In the 90s, it was if Tendulkar is there the match can be won, if not then no. Now the same thing is with KKR and Rinku Singh. Before it was Andre Russell for them,” Sehwag said in a conversation with Cricbuzz.

Sehwag however feels that the feat of five consecutive sixes by Rinku will neither be achieved by him again nor be broken.
“This has never happened in the history of cricket and Rinku Singh will never be able to do this again. This record that has happened, it might be broken, but Rinku will never in his life be able to hit 6 sixes and break that record,” he said.
“You also need a bit of luck. If it was Alzarri Joseph bowling even Rinku would have known that he wouldn’t be able to hit him. But he has faced Yash Dayal all his life in the nets. So Rinku had the right mindset,” he added.
