Rinku Singh was the hero of this match, who not only hit the winning four in the Super Over, but also played the biggest role in KKR’s victory. KKR’s innings had faltered while batting first. His four wickets had fallen for only 31 runs. Captain Ajinkya Rahane was out after scoring only 10 runs. At the same time, Tim Seifert returned to the pavilion without opening his account. Angkrish Raghuvanshi could score only 9 runs. Mohsin Khan sent Rovman Powell to the pavilion on the score of one run. Cameron Green scored 34 runs in 21 balls with the help of 3 sixes.

Rinku along with Sunil Narine (4 runs not out) added 62 runs in 30 balls for the eighth wicket.

There was a ruckus on the wicket of Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Actually, this happened in the 5th over of KKR’s innings. Angkrish Raghuvanshi played a shot towards mid-on on the ball of Prince Yadav and ran fast to take the run. However, Cameron Green standing at the other end sent him back. Angkrish dived to reach inside the crease. When Angkrish dived to save his wicket, the fielder threw the ball, which landed directly on Angkrish’s leg. As soon as this happened, LSG captain Rishabh Pant and the rest of the team players appealed. The matter reached the third umpire, where after watching the replays, Angkrish was declared out for ‘obstructing the field’.

Angkrish and the entire KKR camp looked unhappy with this decision of the umpire. While returning to the pavilion, Angkrish hit his bat hard on the ground and threw the helmet near the boundary line. At the same time, KKR head coach Abhishek Nair was also seen talking to the umpire for a long time and anger was clearly visible on his face. Angkrish became the fourth batsman to be dismissed for ‘obstructing the field’ in IPL. Earlier, Amit Mishra, Ravindra Jadeja, Yusuf Pathan have also been given out in a similar manner.

Rinku Singh hit consecutive sixes in the last over of the innings. Rishabh Pant handed over the responsibility of the 20th over to Digvesh Rathi. After starting the over from wide, Digvesh bowled the second ball dot. Then threw another wide. However, after this Rinku took on Digvesh and hit four sixes in a row. First towards long on and second over extra cover. Rinku again bowled the fourth ball towards long on, after which the bowler decided to come round the wicket, but it did not affect Rinku and he scored 26 runs from the over by hitting his fourth six in a row.

Before Rinku’s storm, LSG fast bowler Mohsin Khan created history. Mohsin batted brilliantly and took 5 wickets giving just 23 runs in a spell of 4 overs. In front of Mohsin’s excellent bowling, KKR’s batting order fell apart like a pack of cards. He sent Ajinkya Rahane, Tim Seifert, Cameron Green, Rovman Powell and Anukul Roy to the pavilion. He became the left-arm Indian fast bowler who bowled the best bowling spell in IPL history. Along with this, Mohsin also made the record of bowling the second best bowling spell for Lucknow Super Giants. Mohsin became only the third fast bowler to take 5 wickets in a match against KKR. Before him, only Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal could achieve this feat.

Rinku Singh took 4 catches in the match. At the same time, in the Super Over also, he took a tremendous catch with Rovman Powell. During the match, Rinku took her first catch in a spectacular manner and showed Aiden Markram the way to the pavilion. Markram moved forward on the off-side ball and played a powerful shot. The ball hit the middle of the bat and was going straight towards the boundary, but Rinku, posted at long-off, came in the middle. He ran and caught the ball, but he was very close to the boundary. Seeing herself going out of the boundary, Rinku deftly threw the ball in the air. He himself went outside the boundary line and then immediately came inside and completed the catch.
