The entire cricketing world was stopped at the moment when Rinku Singh played a ‘knock for the ages.’ His batting heroics in the last over snatched a victory from the jaw of defending champions Gujarat Titans. The young UP lad smashed five consecutive sixes in the last over when the visitors KKR required 29 runs on the last five balls of the match.

This amazing and sensational finish by Rinku Singh had driven the emotions to their highest in the Kolkata Knight Riders camp following the thrilling win against Rashid Khan’s men. In the sequence and flow of these emotions, KKR skipper Nitish Rana forgot everything out of joy and screamed ‘B***c**d’ when he started running towards the star of the evening, Rinku Singh.

The video of this unexpected celebration of Nitish Rana is now making rounds on social media. Apart from this, KKR’s coach Chandrakant Pandit was also visible in tears just after this remarkable finish of the match in favour of the Knight Riders.

Here’s the video:

Speaking of the entire action of the match, Gujarat Titans posted a big total of 204 runs for the loss of four wickets in the allotted 20 overs. The senior all-rounder Vijay Shankar played a swashbuckling knock of 63 runs off just 24 balls with four boundaries and five sixes to his name. Other than him, young batters, Sai Sudarshan and Shubman Gill also played the crucial knocks of 53 and 39 runs respectively.

Sunil Narine and Suyash Sharma were the only bowlers to scalp wickets for KKR in the first innings.

While chasing the target, KKR faced a big blow when GT skipper Rashid Khan claimed an amazing hat-trick in the 17th over of the second innings. But Rinku Singh took centerstage and turned the history pages by smashing five sixes on the five balls of the last over when his team required 29 runs off the last five balls.
