The Indian Premier League (IPL) once again proved why it is the most entertaining league in the world. On April 9, 2023, Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans locked horns and went on to play one of the most memorable matches in the last 16 long years of IPL. In the final over, KKR needed 28 runs in the final five deliveries of the match. It looked quite tricky, but it was Rinku Singh, who smashed five sixes in the last five balls played by Gujarat Titans’ bowler, Yash Dayal. The batsman scored an unbeaten 48 off 21 balls, which made KKR win over Gujarat by 3 wickets.
The entire internet is talking about Rinku Singh. A lot of people are comparing Rinku Singh’s match-winning innings against Gujarat Titans to Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s trademark way of winning matches with a six and are calling him a star in the making. The 25-year-old cricketer is receiving immense love and admiration from cricketing greats and veterans. From ICC, Rohit Sharma, Virender Sehwag to Joy Bhattacharjya and many others have already named Rinku Singh’s innings as one of the best in the history of IPL (Indian Premier League).
