Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh highlighted the importance of saving a boundary on a fast outfield. He emphasized his fielding role, expressing enjoyment and a preference for it over batting. He acknowledged Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Andre Russell's crucial runs and the perfect situation he faced in the final overs. "It was important to save that (18.2) boundary.
