GT vs KKR: The recently-started season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) is currently occurring in full swing across various venues in India. Sunday afternoon’s (April 9) encounter between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders remained the recent-most fixture of the IPL 2023. The Gujarat-Kolkata clash ended up as a last-over thriller with the Kolkata-based side achieving a close 3-wicket win on the very last ball of the match.
It was a remarkable comeback from Kolkata Knight Riders, in what was one of the most exciting matches in the history of the Indian Premier League. KKR needed a whopping 31 runs in the last over of the match following a substandard outing for the majority of the game. The emerging Indian batter Rinku Singh slammed record-breaking five sixes against Gujarat Titans’ pacer Yash Dayal in the nail-biting final over.
“Had the belief that I can do it. Last year I was in a similar situation in Lucknow. Had the belief back then too. Didn’t think too much out there. Those shots just happened one after the other. That last one was the back of the hand, and I struck it off the back foot.” said Rinku Singh after the match-winning knock
‘Big player bhai’ comments Yash Dayal on Rinku Singh’s Instagram posts
Meanwhile, a recent Instagram conversation between Rinku Singh and Yash Dayal has caught netizens’ eyeballs. It was a post-match Instagram post from the Kolkata Knight Riders batter after the team’s recent triumph over Bangalore (April 6), under which Dayal wrote a supporting comment. The young Gujarat Titans bowler’s comment read ‘Big player bhai’ and Singh further went on to respond with a few emojis. The episode occurred before today’s (Sunday) match, leaving the fans enthralled.
Take a look at the Instagram chat:
25-year-old Rinku Singh has been part of the Kolkata Knight Riders’ setup for over a couple of years now, however, has not received a consistent run in the starting eleven. The middle-order batter’s match-winning knock against Gujarat Titans certainly shocked the Cricketing world. The quickfire 48-run inning by Rinku Singh will further go down as one of the best and most entertaining innings in the 15-year Indian Premier League history.
