Rinku Singh hit five sixes off the last five balls to lead Kolkata Knight Riders to a thrilling three-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Chasing 205 and needing 29 from the last over, Rinku produced a brutal onslaught on bowler Yash Dayal.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The innings eclipsed spinner Rashid Khan’s hat-trick in the 17th over that had Kolkata reeling at 155-7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rinku finished 48 not out as Kolkata won from the last ball.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 29 scored from the last over set a new record for the most runs successfully chased in the final over of a T20, beating the 23 scored by Sydney Sixers against Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

The game was heading towards a comfortable victory for defending champions Gujarat, who dominated for large periods of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gujarat posted 204-4 as Vijay Shankar’s 63 from 24 balls helped them score 51 from the final 15 balls.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the chase, Venkatesh Iyer looked set on steering Kolkata over the line with a sublime 83 from 40 balls but was dismissed by Alzarri Joseph, whose 2-27 was crucial in swinging the momentum back in Gujarat’s favour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Iyer’s dismissal left Kolkata 154-4, and they lost four wickets for one run when Rashid ripped through the middle order to remove Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Shardul Thakur.<\/span><\/p>\n

With an improbable 39 required from nine balls, Rinku took 10 from the final two balls of the penultimate over, followed by Umesh Yadav taking a single from the first ball of the 20th to give Rinku the strike.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dayal bowled a mixture of full tosses and short balls that Rinku pummelled into the stands, and he was embraced by his team-mates as Kolkata celebrated in front of a raucous crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I had belief that I could do it,” said Rinku, who was named player of the match.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I was not thinking a lot, just reacting to the ball that came. I was just trying to hit sixes and it came off in the end.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunrisers beat Punjab despite Dhawan resistance<\/h3>\n

In the second IPL fixture of the day, Sunrisers Hyderabad earned their first win of the season as they beat Punjab Kings by eight wickets. <\/span><\/p>\n

Shikhar Dhawan played a lone hand for Punjab as he scored an unbeaten 99 from 66 balls in a below-par total of 143-9.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opener Dhawan watched the wickets tumble as his side slumped to 88-9 with Mayank Markande taking 4-15 and two wickets each for Marco Jansen and Umran Malik.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the skipper combined expert strike rotation with powerful striking down the ground in a partnership of 55 with number 11 Mohit Rathee, who made just one. <\/span><\/p>\n

England all-rounder Sam Curran was the only other batter to reach double figures, making 22 as Punjab posted 143-9.<\/span><\/p>\n

In reply, England’s Harry Brook’s IPL struggles continued as he fell for 13, but Rahul Tripathi anchored the chase with an unbeaten 74 to see Hyderabad home with 17 balls to spare.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<\/thead>\n\n\n\n\n\n
