Synopsis: Rinku Singh’s 83 trumps Mohsin Khan’s five-for as KKR pip LSG in Super Over thriller The calamities that ensued from a poor Powerplay were poised to dictate terms when Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants were set to meet again after a forgettable first half of the season. Poor starts from the openers have marred their run. So when two teams of weakened batting repositories clashed at the non-partisan Ekana, dullness and drama matched in equal measure across phases before the dust settled in a Super Over climax at midnight. On a black soil strip on Sunday, where LSG opted to bowl first, the ability to vary speeds was premium. But when Mohsin Khan skinned the KKR order with five wickets of unrelenting attack on both edges of the bat, the relative weakness of his team’s top order returned to bite them during an unoffending 156-run pursuit. AS IT HAPPENED | LSG VS KKR See-sawing comeback A generous smattering of two free hits and a boundary from an erring Kartik Tyagi’s final over …

‘There’s a common thread to six hitting of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Rinku Singh and even Ajit Agarkar’ – golfer Aditya Kanitkar | Cricket News

‘There’s a common thread to six hitting of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Rinku Singh and even Ajit Agarkar’ – golfer Aditya Kanitkar | Cricket News

Published by Webster

4 min readApr 21, 2026 02:21 PM IST Aditya Kanitkar is a former golfer and currently a golf-coach in Pune. He is also the brother of former India cricketer Hrishikesh Kanitkar, and dabbles at Masters tennis besides golf and cricket, playing at Poona Club. Plenty of conversations within the family are about bat swings – at the intersection of golf and power-hitting cricket. It is not just India captain Harmanpreet Kaur that shadow-practices with a golf club before nets. Most bat swing coaching leans on golf to get the elevation and distance akin to driving on the greens. Aditya Kanitkar breaks down the swing from head to toe: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Heinrich Klaasen are a very good comparison, though both use golf stances in six-hitting. The biggest difference is Klaasen is tall and uses his long levers to create more speed in his bat flow. Vaibhav is shorter, but when he hits down to up, he creates a lot of rotations, that is, his body turns at a faster speed than most. What makes him …

Synopsis: Rinku Singh roars back to form as Kolkata Knight Riders end winless streak Chasing 150-plus on the Eden Gardens deck typically favours the batsmen, but with KKR’s batting line-up blowing hot and cold, it was always going to be a tricky affair. The hosts almost made a meal of the chase but a seventh-wicket partnership between Anukul Roy and Rinku Singh enabled their first win of the season When Anukul joined Rinku in the middle, Kolkata were already six wickets down with the latter looking rickety. The KKR vice-captain wouldn’t even be there if Nandre Burger had not dropped him on eight. But as the match raced towards its climax, shouts of ‘maar Rinku maar’ rippled from the stands. He duly obliged. The 19-run 16th over turned out to be the turning point. Both Rinku and Anukul slammed sixes, slashing the target down to 40 from four overs. Rinku continued the rampage, slapping Jofra Archer for two fours in the next over before Anukul brought down the equation to 9 off 6 in last …

4 min readUpdated: Apr 17, 2026 11:40 PM IST Before the national selectors and India’s team management firmed up the 15 that won the T20 World Cup earlier this year, a considerable amount of time had gone around the inclusion of Rinku Singh. The southpaw wasn’t among the first choice players with Shubman Gill ahead of him. But the latter struggles and India’s intent to go full throttle from the word go had prompted a question: If they lose wickets early in the powerplay, who is the best bet among the lot. The answer to that was Rinku. It is how Rinku made the 15-member cut for the T20 World Cup. Of course, India didn’t endure any such nightmare in the tournament and it allowed the left-hander to play the finisher’s role. And as Kolkata Knight Riders are struggling to get off the mark, with their batting unit showing no signs of being a settled unit, there is a key question that is emerging: Why is KKR reluctant to promote Rinku higher up the order, …

Rinku will assist skipper Ajinkya Rahane, who has been retained as captain despite KKR’s disappointing IPL 2025 campaign. “Rinku Singh will work very closely with skipper Ajinkya Rahane as vice-captain,” KKR CEO Venky Mysore said during the team’s ‘Knights Unplugged 3.0’ event here. Backing the decision, head coach Abhishek Nayar said Rinku’s evolution within the set-up made him a natural choice for a leadership role. “I’ve seen him evolve as a leader over the years. He’s someone the team always looks forward to, so we wanted to give him a little bit more responsibility. I feel it’s the perfect time after winning the T20 World Cup,” Nayar said. Rinku’s rise has been one of the most remarkable stories in IPL history, from being picked for Rs 80 lakh in 2018 to being retained for Rs 13 crore ahead of IPL 2025. ALSO …
