Coming into the Ekana, Kolkata Knight Riders had a team with their morale boosted as Ajinkya Rahane's side had earned a convincing victory over the Rajasthan Royals, when their bowlers dominated on a comparatively slower pitch, and Rinku Singh and Anukul Roy's promising seventh-wicket partnership helped them complete their first chase of the season.
Yet another day and yet another batting collapse for the Kolkata Knight Riders. Coming out to bat first after Rishabh Pant managed to win the toss and opted to bowl first. With Ajinkya Rahane and Tim Seifert dismissed early by Mohsin Khan, they looked to bounce back. Ajinkya Rahane scored 10 runs and struggled in the match.
Rinku Singh single-handedly took the KKR innings off to a respectable 155 by the end of those 20 overs as he finished on 83* off just 51 balls with seven fours and five sixes while striking at over 160.
Rinku Singh's excellent effort on the field pushes the game over to the Super Overs
With nearly 93 runs needed to be scored at a net run rate of 9.30 for the final 10 overs, the match went on getting more difficult with the fall of wickets. Once again, Rinku Singh turned the game with the dismissal of Aiden Markram as he completed a stunning catch near the fence.
The Super over was leading to a stunning effort from Sunil Narine, who dismissed Pooran and Markram off their first deliveries, thus ending their Super over within three balls. Rinku finished the game with a boundary as KKR needed 2 runs to win the match.
Really happy with the victory - Ajinkya Rahane
"We played SMAT here, and the soil was similarly, we thought 160-170 would be a good total. But the kind of bowling we did was amazing. It was about having that belief; one wicket here and there and the opposition is back in the game. We were really confident about our spinners. We knew one wicket would change the game for us."
"You have to be in the moment; using the longer boundary is something we spoke about and guys have been practicing. You have to be clear as a bowler," Ajinkya Rahane credited his bowlers and Rinku Singh for their recent winning streak.
