‘Rinku had done something similar last year’, Nitish Rana’s emotional reaction to KKR star’s five sixes miracle

KKR registered a staggering victory over GT in the IPL 2023 on Saturday evening. Rinku Singh went ballistic over GT pacer Yash, smashing him for five successive sixes when the side needed 28 runs to win off the final five deliveries of the game. Nitish Rana, who is leading KKR in absence of Shreyas this year, was all praise for the young batter as he made a rather emotional remark.

Nitish said in the post-match presentation –

“We had belief because Rinku had done something similar last year, although we did not win. After the second six, we started to believe more because Yash Dayal was also not executing well. You win one out of a hundred matches this way.”

Nitish added – “We were bowling well for 18 overs but did not bowl well towards the end. Same in the batting department where we allowed Rashid and GT back into the game. This result, though, is only down to Rinku and his brilliance.”

Nitish Rana further said –

“Reporters had asked me the other day, why Rinku does not play a bigger role. If this is his secondary role, then imagine what he can do in a primary role. I do not have words to describe Rinku’s innings.” KKR will return to action on April 14 when they host SRH.
