Rinku Singh’s stunning final over six-hitting spree which handed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) an unlikely win over Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday earned him a new moniker “beast” from Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan.
Rinku was at his brutal best, smashing ꦛfive consecutive sixes in th🌱e last over en route his unbeaten 48 off just 21 balls as KKR snatched a three-wicket win from the jaws of defeat against GT, for whom their stand-in captain Rashid Khan recorded the first hat-trick of the 2023 IPL season.
Along with Aryan, his father🐻 Shah Rukh, sister Suhana Khan and promising actor R🦄anveer Singh hailed Rinku for playing a stupendous knock at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Rinku walked in to bat when KKR needed 56 off 30 balls, but Rashid’s hat-trick turned the tide in GT’s favour.
However, the left-handed batter did not give up and eventually took KKR over the finish line. He hit five sixes off Yash Dayal’s final over after smashing Josh Little for a six and a four in the last two balls of the penultimate over.
