Rinku Singh IPL factfile
- Rinku Singh is the only batter to hit five sixes in the last over of an IPL chase, or any T20 chase (where ball-by-ball data is available) for that matter, winning Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) a game that looked well beyond them against Gujarat Titans (GT) in 2023.
- During that innings, Rinku became the first Indian to hit five consecutive sixes in one over in the IPL - only Chris Gayle had done it before him; two other Indians (Ravindra Jadeja and Rahul Tewatia) have five sixes in an IPL over but not off consecutive deliveries.
- Rinku was first bought by Punjab Kings (PBKS, at the time Kings XI Punjab or KXIP) at the 2017 auction but he didn't get a game with them. So his IPL career only really started and flourished at KKR, who gave him a debut in 2018.
