Kolkata Knight Riders' Rinku Singh was undoubtedly the star in KKR's match against Lucknow Super Giants. KKR were 5 wickets down when Singh came to bat and scored 40 runs in just 15 balls. However, Kolkata lost the game to Lucknow by 2 runs.
The story of Aligarh's batter is nothing less than an amazing inspirational story which involves rejection, dejection, injury and a brilliant comeback. 
The 24-year old southpaw considered getting a job as a sweeper in his early days but later found his interest in cricket. He was away from cricket for a long time and was ruled out of IPL 2021 due to a knee injury.

Talking about his injury, KKR's batter said that he wasn't happy staying away from cricket for so long and his father didn't eat for 2-3 days when he came to know about it. 
Rinku was bought by Punjab Kings in IPL 2017 and was bought by Kolkata in 2018. Despite his presence in IPL, the leading run scorer for Uttar Pradesh in the group stage of Ranji Trophy 2018-19, didn't get many chances to play in IPL.
Rinku further added that he was a bit sad but knew that he would recover quickly as he had a lot of self-belief.

WHAT-A-GAME, with so many momentum shifts throughout the last 20 overs, Lucknow Super Giants sealed the game by the narrowest margin, 2 runs, as they booked a place in playoffs by registering a win over Kolkata Knight Riders at DY Patil Stadium on Wednesday night.
Kolkata's majestic run-chase was a classic example of a T20 contest given they lost both the openers early. But Shreyas Iyer stitched a counter-attacking 50-run stand with Nitish Rana first. Then another fifty-run stand with Sam Billings in 24 balls kept Kolkata the mammoth chase on track. Kolkata lost momentum in the death overs. However, Rinku Singh and Sunil Narine kept KKR in the hunt with some big blows. With 21 needed off the last over, Rinku tonked a four, and two back-to-back sixes off the first three balls before a one-handed stunner from Evin Lewis ended the southpaw innings. Stoinis cleaned up Umesh Yadav off the last delivery thus winning the game for Lucknow.
