Last Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans IPL match

The last time the two teams met in the IPL, Rinku Singh snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat for KKR.

After winning the toss and opting to bat first in an evening game in Ahmedabad, GT, who were without captain Hardik Pandya, posted an imposing 204/4 in 20 overs.

The chase was always going to be an arduous task for the Kolkata franchise. However, KKR got over the line in the most exhilarating fashion.

The match seemed to be done and dusted for KKR with 38 more runs needed off just eight deliveries. GT may have thought that they would win the match, but Rinku Singh had other plans.

Closing out the 19th over with a six and a boundary, Rinku had the outrageous task of needing to get 28 runs from the final five balls to win his side the game.

However, the southpaw remained imperturbed and did the unthinkable.He clobbered Yash Dayal for five consecutive maximums to script a remarkable run-chase for KKR.
