KKR vs GT: Rinku Singh stole the show in KKR's match against Gujarat Titans after his historic last-over finish to Yash Dayal. Rinku smashed Yash Dayal for five consecutive sixes in the last over and won his team a lost battle against Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The left-handed Uttar Pradesh batsman grabbed a lot of praise for his innings from the legends of cricketing freternity and also from the fans.
The chase also reminded the netizens of the India vs Pakistan 2022 T20 World Cup match in which the Indian team registered a four-wicket victory courtesy of Virat Kohli's magical unbeaten innings of 82 which included six fours and four sixes. Team India needed 48 runs off 18 balls at one point and it looked like Pakistan can register an easy victory in the match looking at their bowling attack but it was Kohli who remained till the end and made sure that his team crosses the line.
