Rinku Singh became a household name in Indian cricket after his heroics for Kolkata Knight Riders against Gujarat Titans in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 game. With 7-down Kolkata Knight Riders needing 29 runs off the last over against the defending champions, even the di-hard KKR fan would not have been hopeful. While Rashid Khan's magical hat-trick had almost sealed the game for the Hardik Pandya-led GT, winning seemed to be just a formality for the side. Yash Dayal was handed the ball in the final over and the first delivery went for a single. With 28 needed off 5 balls, GT would have thought that the game was in their pocket, however, KKR's Rinku Singh had some other idea. Rinku hit five consecutive sixes and sealed a nearly impossible victory for Nitish Rana and company.
