Five Sixes In Last Five Balls By Rinku Singh Gives KKR A Fantastic Win

About the Author

Sunil Garodia Holding an extreme view and carting the ball out of the park is what interests him most. He is a hard hitter at all times. Fasten your seatbelts and read.

The KKR versus Gujarat Titans match was truly the best of T20 matches. Batting first, Gujarat amassed 204, a healthy total which they could have easily defended given their bowling firepower. While Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharshan steadied their innings with a 67-run second wicket partnership, it was Vijay Shankar who hit 63 not out in just 24 balls, along with Sudharshan’s 53 off 38 balls, that took them to 204.

When KKR batted, they were quickly reduced to 28 for 2. But after that Venkatesh Iyer (83) and skipper Nitish Rana (45) stitched together a 100-run partnership for the 3rd wicket which seemed to have laid the foundation for a victory. But GT stand-in skipper Rashid Khan had other ideas. In the 17th over, he dismissed Andre Russel, Sunil Narine and Shardul Thakur off consecutive deliveries to get a hattrick and derail the KKR chase. With 50 runs needed off the last three overs and with Rinku Singh and Umesh Yadav at the crease, it seemed all but over for KKR. When Md Shami conceded just 5 runs in the 18th over, things looked further bleak for KKR. 29 runs were needed in the last over and the first ball was to be faced by Umesh Yadav.

Luckily, Yadav took a single off the first ball and handed the strike to Rinku Singh. Singh then went on a rampage, hitting the next 5 balls of Yash Dayal out of the park to take KKR home and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The second ball of the over was a full toss which was despatched over long-off. The next ball, again a full toss, was hauled over the leg boundary. The next three balls met with the same fate and the entire KKR squad, including the support staff rushed to the field to hug a dazed Rinku. He became only the 4th individual batter to hit five consecutive sixes in an over.
