Watch : Rinku Singh smack 5 sixes in a row to blank Gujarat Titans!

Rinku Singh’s dazzling blitzkrieg with the bat enabled Kolkata Knight Riders defeat Gujarat Titans by three wickets in the Indian Premier League. The southpaw hit five sixes in five balls to help KKR win the game with 29 needed in the last over.

A magnificent fifty from Vijay Shankar earlier in the innings enabled Gujarat reach 204/4 in 20 overs and pass the 200-run threshold. The hosts had a strong finish, scoring 45 runs in the final two overs to help them reach a significant score.

On Sunday at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, Gujarat Titans won the toss and decided to bat first against Kolkata Knight Riders.

It appeared as though the match was won when Rashid Khan scored his first hat-trick in the IPL. The IPL has experienced some remarkable twists and ends throughout the course of its 15 seasons, but the one on Sunday was bizarre.

After Umesh Yadav singled on the first pitch, Rinku Singh received the ball as Kolkata needed 29 runs off the final over. He need a boundary or five sixes, as well as four sixes. Everyone who chooses the bat dreams of experiencing moments like this.

As the equation shrank to 10 off two deliveries, Yash Dayal then struck three full tosses in a row, dispatching them over long-off, deep square-leg, and long-off. Kolkata had unexpectedly not only gotten back into the match, but it was also their match to lose.

As the pressure mounted and suggestions began to flow in from all directions, Dayal threw a slower ball out of the back of his hand that Rinku was able to smash over long on. With four required off the final ball, Dayal bowled a short one outside off, and Rinku didn’t hesitate to hit the catch straight over the sight screen to end the game, which had looked all but lost just three overs earlier.
