KKR Batter Rinku Singh became a superstar at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat when he smacked back to back Five 6’s in a row to give his side an unthinkable 2 points. He has been gaining a lot of traction since then and has also become a topic of discussion for people in and around the cricketing circuit.
And why not? It was a type of inning which is rarely on display and the animosity grew even more as Rinku is an uncapped player who family background is very ordinary. Even Virat Kohli, India’s ace batter could might have helped India and RCB chase down many gigantic totals but he never did what Rinku did.

In his own words, Kohli said that he was left in extreme shock after seeing Rinku Singh bat like that. Both of the batters face similar situations respectively. Kohli had to do the job against Pakistan at Melbourne last year while Rinku Singh did the job at Gujarat.
Prior to the commencement of RCB’s third home game in the IPL 2023 against Delhi Capitals, veteran Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa asked Kohli on Jio Cinema about how the young players had performed during the season. Kohli promptly mentioned Rinku’s innings.
The level of batting the KKR star displayed that night, which was beyond his expectations, left him speechless, he said. “What the youngsters are doing today is amazing to see. Look at this IPL, I couldn’t even think of doing stuff what these young guys are doing. Just the other night, Rinku Singh hits 5 Sixes in last 5 balls which is amazing & never happened something like that. – Kohli said
Coming in an hitting five sixes in a row to win a match, I mean what level is this? So that transition is happening is great. It is great to see such youngsters coming up.” Kohli added.
