What a heist by little-known Rinku Singh! He pulled the (red) carpet under Gujarat Titans’ feet to give Kolkata Knight Riders a heart-stopping three-wicket win at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. KKR needed 29 in the last over before Rinku swatted Yash Dayal for five successive sixes to seal the match after Umesh Yadav had given him the strike with a single.

Hat-trick for Rashid Khan

That titanic last-over KKR tornado came after the first hat-trick of IPL 16 by Titans skipper Rashid Khan in the 17th over and a whirlwind late onslaught by Vijay Shankar (63, 24 balls, 4x4, 5x6) that took the home team’s total to 204.
