[WATCH] "Celebrations time!"- KKR celebrate grandly after a memorable victory against GT in IPL 2023
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) players celebrated wildly after their memorable victory against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday, April 9 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The game ebbed and flowed until the final over where Rinku Singh smashed five sixes off the last five balls to win it for KKR in incredible fashion.
GT batted first and made 204/4 on the back of fifties from Vijay Shankar (63*) and Sai Sudharsan (53). Venkatesh Iyer (83 off 40 balls) and Nitish Rana (45) led the Knight Riders' batting unit in the chase before GT bowlers Rashid Khan (3/37) and Alzarri Joseph (2/27) derailed their innings.
Rinku Singh (48* off 21 balls) then rose to the occasion in the final over and led his side to one of the most remarkable finishes to an IPL contest, scoring five sixes off the last five deliveries.
