After Rinku Singh’s heroic feat, his Instagram chat with Yash Dayal is now in the spotlight. Rinku had also played a key role in Kolkata Knight Riders triumph over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Thursday. In that match, Rinku Singh had hit 46 off 33 balls against RCB. “Memorable victory. Special mention to all our wonderful fans for turning up in huge numbers and having our back,” Rinku wrote in a post after the match.
In reply, Yash Dayal, said: “Big player bhai (brother).” And Rinku Singh proved it on Sunday.
While Dayal had a forgettable outing on Sunday, KKR came up with a heart-warming gesture to cheer up the bowler. Taking to Twitter, the Kolkata-based franchise wrote: “Chin up, lad. Just a hard day at the office happens to the best of players in cricket. You’re a champion, Yash, and you’re gonna come back strong.”

In its chase of 205 runs against Gujarat Titans, KKR was reduced to 28/2, but skipper Nitish Rana put on a hundred-run stand for the third wicket with Venkatesh Iyer, to resurrect the chase. But dismissal of these two set batters and Rashid Khan’s hat-trick put KKR on the backfoot at 155/7. The equation came down to 29 runs in the final over. Rinku Singh came through hitting five successive sixes in the final over to seal what was once an improbable win for KKR. Rinku scored 48 not out in 21 balls, consisting of one four and six sixes.
