After a winning performance against Rajasthan Royals in the previous game, Kolkata Knight Riders started their eighth game on an inglorious note, losing several wickets early in the game. The batsmen failed to counter Mohsin Khan and lost half the team within the first 11 overs.
After a slow start to his innings, Rinku, who took charge of KKR’s faltering batting line-up, responded to the LSG bowlers in the final three overs as he scored a few runs off Mohammed Shami and particularly targeted Digvesh Rathi in the death overs.
Rinku Singh wreaked havoc in Ekana and hit 4 sixes in the last over of Digvesh Rathi.
Rinku Singh has once again shown glimpses of his excellent form this time in Ekana as he threatens to take back his own former IPL record from 2023. He scored 24 runs on four balls of Digvesh Rathi, who were hit with consecutive sixes.
Rinku managed to score more than 50% of the team’s total runs and scored 155 runs by the end of his 20 overs and scored a lot of runs in the final fifty-plus partnership with Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Sunil Narine.
Rinku backed up her match-winning half-century from the previous innings and scored 81 runs in this edition of the competition.
