Watch Video: 5 Sixes In 5 Balls – Rinku Singh Wins Last-Over Thriller For Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans
Rinku Singh slammed five sixes in the final five balls of the match as Kolkata Knight Riders completed a sensational three-wicket victory over defending champions Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Sunday.
Needing 29 runs in the final over, Umesh Yadav took a single to give Rinku the strike against fast bowler Yash Dayal. The next three deliveries were all full-tosses and Rinku made no mistake in dispatching them to various corners of the ground.
With 10 runs to go, Dayal bowled a slower length ball, but it was met with a similar fate. The final ball of the match was once again a back of the length slower ball and Rinku knew it right away after making contact as the ball sailed into the crowd.
