GT VS KKR, IPL 2023: Remember The Name, Rinku Singh! Pulled Out Of The Match In The Last Over

There are lots of ups & downs in the KKR’s innings, but Rinku Singh the player has pulled out of the match for his team. Kolkata Knight Riders won the game when the team were down and out coming in the 20th over of this match. Today’s first encounter, GT vs KKR held in the home ground of Gujrat. 

They accept the home advantage & managed to hang a big score of two hundred on the scoreboard. In the first innings Gill’s cameo, Sai Sudarsan’s half-century, & Vijay Shankar’s explosive fifty take the match away from KKR. 

When KKR’s tumbling opening pair comes to bat Wicket-keeper batsman Gurbazx gives the fine start but GT’s fast bowler Mohammad Shami gives the breakthrough and takes the wicket of Gurbaz who is in good touch. Gurbak scored 15 runs in 12 balls. From which 10 runs come from a six & a boundary. 

Narayan Jagadeesan who takes a good catch in the first innings came to bat at no 2, but he failed to show his skills in the field. He went to the pavilion only scoring 6 runs.  Then Impact player Venkatesh Iyer & skipper Nitish Rana hold the KKR’s innings. They built a big partnership of one hundred. This gives a good base to chase the big total.

In the middle of the match when Venky & Rana plays freely it looks like the match and the run chase will be made easily. Rana scored crucial 45 runs in just 29 balls & well-settled Iyer scored 83 in 40 balls. But both batsman gives their wicket to West Indian bowler Alzari Joseph. This gives a big blow to KKR’s run chase.

But this is not the end that shakes the KKR’s innings, GT skipper Rashid Khan takes a hattrick in his last of this match. In the last over of his spell, he takes the of big hitter Russel, Narine, & previous match key player Shardul Thakur. That hat trick fully shakes up the KKR’s run chase.

GT VS KKR: Rinku Singh Hits Five Consecutive Sixes & Takes Away The Match From GT

Not all the matches are saved by Lord Shardul for KKR. Today is a bad day for him. But one person steals the show after Venky Iyer’s impactful innings. Rinku Singh is the man who plays a match-winning knock for KKR. At the first of his innings, he does not connect the bat and ball perfectly, but when he spent time in the field he plays shots all over the ground. 

As a result, when KKR need 29 runs in the last over of the match he hits consecutive five sixes. This also has been done in IPL, but this is special for KKR fans. In his destructive innings, he hits six sixes & a boundary and scored 48 runs by just playing 21 balls.

The last over of the match gives the full enjoyment of spectators.  GT will be heartbroken as they have this one go. Rashid’s hattrick, Shankar & Sai’s half-century all are gone in vain. But the thing is that today Rinku has won a lot of fans’ hearts.
