Rinku Singh KKR IPL salary: The 24-year-old played a crucial knock under pressure to take his side home in a must- win match.

During the 47th match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 7 wickets, to end their five-match losing streak and still remain in contention, although by a whisker, in the race towards the playoffs.

En route the target of 153 runs handed by the Sanju Samson-led side, KKR, with the help of some sensible, patient batting by their skipper Shreyas Iyer (34 off 32), Nitish Rana (48* off 37), and Rinku Singh (42* off 23), managed to get over the line with five deliveries to spare.

After yet another poor start provided by the KKR openers, Iyer and Rana collaborated together while putting on a 60-run stand for the 3rd wicket off 43 deliveries, to bring their side back into the chase.

However, with Iyer’s departure during the 13th Over, it was the match-winning partnership of 66 runs between Rana and Rinku Singh, that guided them towards a much-needed victory.

Rinku, with his aggressive knock at a strike rate of 182.61, and with the assistance of 6 Fours and a Six, was the one who upped the ante during the final phase of the innings, and was thus fittingly awarded the ‘Player of the Match’ award.
