KKR’s finisher Rinku Singh is on fire tonight, from an incredible saviour innings of 83* (51) to take KKR to 155/7 from 73/6 and then an incredible catch to dismiss Aiden Markram, showing his reflex and presence of mind. LSG, in reply to the early dismissal of Mitchel Marsh, built a formidable partnership between Rishabh Pant and Aiden Markram and was looking to take the match away from the Knights, but at that moment, Rinku Singh took an incredible catch to bring KKR back in the game.

Rinku Singh has always been a saviour for KKR, not only with his willow but also in the field. From time and again, he has taken unbelievable catches on 22 yards, giving major breakthrough. Today, too, he proved that. He was in long off, and Markram didn’t get enough elevation on Cameron Green’s ball. Rinku didn’t make a mistake but to time his jump correctly near the boundary line, then, while stepping on the rope, threw the ball up and re-entered the field to catch it right back, showing incredible acrobatic skills.

Rinku’s 83* (51) keeps KKR Alive

KKR is gasping for breath at the bottom of the table with a completely clueless team and management. Neither their bowling nor their batting is getting better, and most youngsters are warming the bench. Even though Rinku Singh has not been in good form for a long time, since the game against the Rajasthan Royals, he has been back to his form. He has scored back to back two 50 plus scored against RR and LSG to keep KKR alive.

Rinku’s 83* off 51 against LSG on Sunday helped KKR to put up a respectable total of 155 even after the collapse in the powerplay. Rinku broke MS Dhoni's long record by scoring 83, which became the highest by any IPL batsman playing at no.6. Earlier, Dhoni had made 70 off 40 balls in 2011 against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

It was Rinku Singh’s day, and he gave an incredible performance with his willow and fielding too.
