<p>The TATA IPL has had many legends take part in it. It has seen some of the best knocks in the history of T20 cricket. The TATA IPL is more than a league; it is a phenomenon. We have seen AB De Villers, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Andre Russell, and all the other renowned batters in their prime. The league has also witnessed exceptional bowling from Lasith Malinga, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and many other bowlers. If we were to make an all-time best-playing XI in the history of the IPL, who would it be composed of? We also intend to follow the "four overseas players" rule. Here is a quick look:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>TATA IPL: All-Time Best Playing XI:&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Back-Up Overseas Player: Rashid Khan. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Addition Spinner: Amit Mishra/Harbhajan Singh.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Additional Opener: KL Rahul&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rohit Sharma Will Be Captain of the Best All-Time XI of IPL:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Rohit-Sharma-min-2.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma in TATA IPL" class="wp-image-101455"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit Sharma in TATA IPL is a different beast.  IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



<p>Rohit Sharma will be the captain and not MS Dhoni because the records speak for themselves. Sharma is a more successful captain when it comes to winning trophies. He got the upper hand in that case and hence he has been chosen. There are many other players who could have been a part of the team. Ambati Rayudu an IPL legend could have been a part of the middle order in the TATA IPL all-time XI. KL Rahul could have been chosen to open along with Rohit too, but Chris Gayle and his stats do the talking.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>4 Overseas Players in the TATA IPL All-Time Playing XI:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/chris-gayle-min-1024x768.jpg" alt="Chris Gayle" class="wp-image-89523" title="Chris Gayle"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Times of India</figcaption></figure>



<p>The 4 overseas players chosen are Chris Gayle, Lasith Malinga, DJ Bravo, and AB De Villiers. Gayle and ABD were even inducted into the RCB hall of fame last season. They are big contributors to making TATA IPL a brand. On the other hand, the two most successful bowlers, Malinga and DJ Bravo are on the team too. DJ Bravo has the most wickets in IPL and Lasith Malinga is second on that list. Both players are the faces of their respective franchises. One associate Malinga with Mumbai and Bravo with Chennai. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Suresh Raina and Virat Kohli are Indian Batters:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Virat and Suresh Rania own the IPL. Both batters are exceptional in the tournament. During the early 2010s, Raina was at his&nbsp;peak. From 2009 to 2015, he was the boss of the TATA IPL. After that came the Virat era. &nbsp;</p>

TATA IPL 2023: Making an All-Time Best Playing XI of the TATA IPL.?

tata-ipl-2023-making-an-all-time-best-playing-xi-of-the-tata-ipl

<p>The TATA IPL 2023 is on the way. With that being said, we will be witnessing several amazing games that will go down to the wire. There will be many last-ball finishes, and the games will get as close as possible. Over the years, the TATA IPL has given us many such matches and they have also given us many such moments to cherish. We have seen MS Dhoni lose his composure, we have seen Rahul Tewatia hit the last two balls for two sixes, and we have also seen Amit Mishra take 3 hat-tricks. So, which are the 3 most historic games in TATA IPL history? Here is a look:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rajasthan Royals VS Kolkata Knight Riders 19th Match TATA IPL 2014:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Ajinkya Rahane scored an elite 72 of 59 balls in the first innings to take the Rajasthan team to a formidable score of 152 in the first innings. He had given his bowlers a fighting chance to stay in the game. Shane Watson also scored a handy 33 runs. It was a team effort by KKR, and they managed to score 152 runs too. Shakib Al Hasan chipped in with 29 runs, Suryakumar scored 31 and Gambhir notched up 40. &nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/02/KKR-VS-RR.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023" class="wp-image-102742" title="TATA IPL 2023"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Rajasthan Royals</figcaption></figure>



<p>The game ended in a tie and was pushed into the super over stage. In the super over the stage as well, the game was a tie. But it was the presence of Steve Smith and Shane Watson that took Rajasthan home. They required 3 runs off the last ball and Smith placed it very fine; it was so precise that they scampered through for 2 runs and RR won on boundary count. This game was a nail-biter!&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rajasthan Royals VS Mumbai Indians TATA IPL 2014 Last League Stage Match:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Rajasthan Royals took on the Mumbai Indians in the last league game of 2014 and it is the best match in IPL history ever. The game was pure drama. The winner of this game would decide the qualification scenario for the playoffs. Rajasthan just needed a win and Mumbai needed a win with a decent margin. Rajasthan walked out to bat first and with the help of the fifties from Samson and Nair, they managed to get 189 runs on the board. &nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/02/Adittya-tare.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023" class="wp-image-102743" width="830" title="TATA IPL 2023"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">This game is one of the greatest games in the history of the TATA IPL. </figcaption></figure>



<p>The Mumbai Indians had to chase this score in 14.3 overs to win the game as well as qualify. Corey Anderson walked into bat and played the innings of a lifetime. He was smoking the RR bowlers. Every batter that walked in, was just trying to clear the fence. Rohit, Pollard, and Michael Hussey too. All of them did their small roles and hit a few out of the park. But Anderson stood strong, he scored 95 runs of 44 balls only. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Ambati Rayudu on the other hand scored 30 runs from 10 balls! This inning got Mumbai to 189 runs in 14.3 overs but to qualify, they had to get a boundary on the 4<sup>th</sup> ball of the 14<sup>th</sup> over. Aditya Tar walked out to bat and nonchalantly hit James Faulkner for a six over the sweeper. Mumbai won and Tare did a shirtless celebration too!&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Mumbai Indians VS Chennai Super Kings IPL Final 2019:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The Mumbai Indians VS Chennai Super Kings games of the TATA IPL have a special place in the heart. These TATA IPL games have an unmatched intensity. This is a long-standing rivalry of the TATA IPL. The 2019 TATA IPL final was one such game. With 2 runs required of 1 ball, Malinga managed to get a wicket and Mumbai got their 4<sup>th</sup> title. What a story! Here is a look. Kieron Pollard did very well and scored 41 runs of 25 balls to take Mumbai to a respectable 148 runs. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Then in the bowling department, Malinga went for runs at 12 an over and K Pandya went for 13 an over. But it was Rahul Chahar, the unsung hero along with Jasprit Bumrah. They bowled at 3.5 runs an over! And on the last ball, the magic of Lasith Malinga worked. He got rid of Shardul Thakur. CSK finished with 148 only! Mumbai Indians were champions!&nbsp;</p>

TATA IPL 2023: Top 3&nbsp;Historic Games in TATA IPL History. Best Matches of TATA IPL.&nbsp;

tata-ipl-2023-top-3-historic-games-in-tata-ipl-history-best-matches-of-tata-ipl

<p>The TATA IPL 2023 season will begin on March 31, 2023. The tournament is a two-month-long fiesta of cricket. With that being said, the best batters in the world will be present in the tournament. Over the years, opening batters like Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist, Gibbs, Bairstow, and Gayle have been integral parts of the tournament. An opener has a crucial job as he sets the pace of the innings. If the start is laid back, it is laid back, and if it is a quick-fire one, it is quick-fire! Here is a look at the top 5 openers that the league has ever witnessed:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rohit Sharma is One of the Best Openers in the History of the TATA IPL.&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/rohit-sharma-1024x576.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" class="wp-image-98143"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit is captain of Mumbai Indians franchise (IPL) </figcaption></figure>



<p>Rohit Sharma is one of the best openers in the league. Season after season Sharma has scored runs. He is also a part of the top run-getters in the TATA IPL. Sharma plays with a decent strike rate of 120 to 130 in the first 10 to 15 balls. Post that the strike rate inflates to 150. He has been an asset to the Mumbai Indians. As a captain, he has led them to 5 IPL victories. He does have a weakness against spinners in the powerplay and left-arm pacers as well, but if Rohit manages to get past the 10-ball mark, the opposition needs to start praying.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Chris Gayle is One of the Best Openers in the History of the TATA IPL.&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The TATA IPL was synonymous to ?Chris Gayle? in the 2011 and 2012 seasons. It was a season of sheer dominance by the big Jamaican. He was the poster boy of the TATA IPL. The fans love Chris Gayle because he is not just a batter but an entertainer. He makes sports interesting. One can never forget his whirlwind 175 runs against the Pune Warriors India. On his day, Chris won the game single-handedly. He was a strike force scoring at a strike rate of 150 and averaging 39.7.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>KL Rahul is One of the Best Openers in the History of the TATA IPL:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full KL-Rahul" id="KL-Rahul"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/KL-Rahul-min.jpg" alt="KL Rahul TATA IPL" class="wp-image-93739" title="KL Rahul"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">KL Rahul is one of the top players in the TATA IPL. IMG SRC: LSG</figcaption></figure>



<p>KL Rahul has assured dominance in the league since he was promoted to open the innings for the Punjab Kings. Before that, he was considered a fringe player with a lot of potential. But the Punjab Kings management helped him to grow. And since then, Rahul has had 4 IPL seasons in which he has scored more than 500 runs each. Now that?s an amazing thing to do! Season after season Rahul scored runs. At times his class is such that he appears to be India?s best T20 batter. Rahul has played 109 games scoring 3889 runs at an unreal average of 48 and strike rate of 136.8&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Shane Watson/ Shikhar Dhawan:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full" id="Shane-Watson"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Shane-Watson-2CSK.jpg" alt="Shane Watson TATA IPL" class="wp-image-20666" title="Shane Watson TATA IPL"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: CSK</figcaption></figure>



<p>Shikhar Dhawan and Shane Watson have also left a mark on the league as openers. The most impactful performance of Shane Watson came when he opened the innings. In the 2018 TATA IPL final, Shane was too good. The same was the case in the 2019 IPL final. He played with stitches in his knees and was batting exceptionally well. Shikhar Dhawan on the other hand is a blue-chip stock. He is a player on whom the team management can always rely. The short ball outside off-stump is his strong point. He has played 206 games and has scored 6244 runs at a strike rate of 129. Watson is on the list not because he has scored the most runs as an opener but because he has had a massive impact as an opener itself.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>David Warner:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full" id="David-Warner"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/David-warner.jpg" alt="David Warner TATA IPL" class="wp-image-81616" title="David Warner"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">David Warner was in his prime at SRH. IMG SRC: SRH</figcaption></figure>



<p>David Warner is in the heart of every SRH fan. He won the orange cap 3 times and every time he was opening the batting for the Sunrisers. He was the backbone of their batting. David Warner took the Sunrisers Hyderabad to glory in TATA IPL 2016. He is one of the most dominant batters. On his day, he can flip the game in the team?s favor in a matter of a few overs. His timing is elite and he has a strong bottom hand. He is technically very sound. Warner has amassed 5881 runs at a strike rate of 140. &nbsp;</p>

TATA IPL 2023: Top 5 Openers in the History of the TATA IPL.&nbsp;

tata-ipl-2023-top-5-openers-in-the-history-of-the-tata-ipl

<p><strong>MS Dhoni vs Sanju Samson: </strong>India is a nation of culture, vivacity, devotion, history, and many more, but in this nation full of people going to universities, there are a few who travel to the grounds, and they form one of the most elite people who swell up the chest of every Indian with pride. Talking about sportsmen, India plays cricket as its most fascinating sport now.&nbsp;</p>



<p>When it comes to Indian cricket, we have many legends to talk of, but the first name that comes to everyone's mind now is Virat Kohli. Others include the God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahul_Dravid">Rahul Dravid</a>, Saurav Ganguly, Sehwag, Yuvi, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Anil Kumble, Zaheer Khan, and many more. But among them all, one name is always found molded in gold, and that is that of the heart of Indian cricket: Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The legendary cricketer has aced it as a batsman, but even keeping that aside, he is one of the greatest pioneers of Indian cricket.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Today, we compare Dhoni with Sanju Samson, a unique talent of Indian cricket who has never had as many opportunities as he deserved and would be needed by him to portray his talent in international cricket.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MS Dhoni vs Sanju Samson: TESTS</h2>



<p>The Ranchi boy is not considered one of the greatest players in the longer format of the game, but he has been an eminent scorer in the format as well. On the other hand, we have Samson, who has not played a single match for India in the longer format.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td><strong>Matches</strong></td><td><strong>Runs</strong></td><td><strong>Average</strong></td><td><strong>50s</strong></td><td><strong>100s</strong></td><td><strong>HS</strong></td></tr><tr><td>MS Dhoni</td><td>90</td><td>4876</td><td>38.09</td><td>33</td><td>6</td><td>224</td></tr><tr><td>Sanju Samson</td><td>?---</td><td>?-</td><td>?-</td><td>?-</td><td>?-</td><td>?--</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>Since Samson has not played a single international test match, he will enlighten you with the domestic stats of both of these players.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td><strong>Matches</strong></td><td><strong>Runs</strong></td><td><strong>Average</strong></td><td><strong>50s</strong></td><td><strong>100s</strong></td><td><strong>HS</strong></td></tr><tr><td>MS Dhoni</td><td>131</td><td>7038</td><td>36.84</td><td>47</td><td>9</td><td>224</td></tr><tr><td>Sanju Samson</td><td>58</td><td>3446</td><td>38.71</td><td>15</td><td>10</td><td>211</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MS Dhoni vs Sanju Samson: ODIs</h2>



<p>Dhoni is the only batsman in international cricket who has scored 10,000+ runs coming at a position often so late in the innings. Probably only the second wicketkeeper batter to score this many runs in limited-overs cricket, just behind the Lankan maestro Sangakara.?</p>



<p>On the other hand, Samson didn't have many opportunities to play in Indian colors in limited-overs cricket. Even before he was founded, he made the most of the opportunities he received from his national side. Though often considered one of India's best options to bat in the middle order, he is given tough competition in this format by KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant in the other two.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>Matches</td><td>Runs</td><td>Average</td><td>50s</td><td>100s</td><td>HS</td></tr><tr><td>MS Dhoni</td><td>350</td><td>10773</td><td>50.57</td><td>73</td><td>10</td><td>183*</td></tr><tr><td>Sanju Samson</td><td>11</td><td>330</td><td>66.00</td><td>2</td><td>0</td><td>86*</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MS Dhoni vs Sanju Samson: Domestic List-A Career</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>Matches</td><td>Runs</td><td>Average</td><td>50s</td><td>100s</td><td>HS</td></tr><tr><td>MS Dhoni</td><td>423</td><td>13353</td><td>50.38</td><td>87</td><td>17</td><td>183*</td></tr><tr><td>Sanju Samson</td><td>115</td><td>3014</td><td>32.40</td><td>17</td><td>1</td><td>212*</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MS Dhoni vs Sanju Samson: T20I</h2>



<p>This is probably the strongest format for Sanju Samson, as he aces playing in the shortest format of the game. Though Dhoni is also considered the best finisher in white-ball cricket and has been one of the first players to go on to be the maestro of the format, his game strategy is more important than his batting.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td><strong>Matches</strong></td><td><strong>Runs</strong></td><td><strong>Average</strong></td><td><strong>50s</strong></td><td><strong>100s</strong></td><td><strong>HS</strong></td></tr><tr><td>MS Dhoni</td><td>98</td><td>1617</td><td>37.60</td><td>2</td><td>0</td><td>56</td></tr><tr><td>Sanju Samson</td><td>17</td><td>301</td><td>20.06</td><td>1</td><td>0</td><td>77</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MS Dhoni vs Sanju Samson: IPL</h2>

<p>Dhoni is not only one of the greatest players in the league or the most comprehensive finisher, but he is also the most successful captain, even in the Indian Premier League.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Samson, on the other hand, has also delivered several sublime innings with the bat, and now as skipper of the Royals, he has also gained widespread recognition as he led them to their second final after 11 editions.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td><strong>Matches</strong></td><td><strong>Runs</strong></td><td><strong>Average</strong></td><td><strong>50s</strong></td><td><strong>100s</strong></td><td><strong>HS</strong></td></tr><tr><td>MS Dhoni</td><td>241</td><td>5039</td><td>39.37</td><td>24</td><td>0</td><td>84*</td></tr><tr><td>Sanju Samson</td><td>145</td><td>3707</td><td>28.96</td><td>19</td><td>3</td><td>119</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="5-suryakumar-yadav-103-49-vs-gt-match-no-57"><strong>5- Suryakumar Yadav- 103*(49) vs GT (Match No. 57)</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Surya-3_11zon-1024x682.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-112365" /></figure>



<p>Suryakumar Yadav started the season with three back-to-back poor innings scoring 15,01, and 0 respectively, leaving everyone doubtful about his form. Some glimpses of him getting back in form were observed in the 4th match of Mumbai Indians vs KKR where he smashed 43 off 26. He then took off and never looked back. In a must-win match against Gujarat Titans, he smoked 103* off 49. This was one of a kind inning where he smashed 11 boundaries and 6 sixes at a strike rate of 210. </p>



<p>In the last 8 balls he faced, he scored 30 runs which eventually turned out to be the winning difference for MI. Rohit and Co. won the match by 27 runs.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="4-shubman-gill-104-52-vs-rcb-match-no-70"><strong>4- Shubman Gill- 104*(52) vs RCB (Match NO. 70)</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/AB-1024x682.png" alt="Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli IPL" class="wp-image-110649" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli IPL</figcaption></figure>



<p>In the last match of the TATA IPL 2023 League Stage that was the decider for the 4th qualifier for the Playoffs, Shubman Gill single-handedly drowned down all the hopes of centurion Virat Kohli, RCB, and entire RCB fans to qualify for the Playoffs.</p>



<p>Shubman in this innings scored 104* off just 52 balls, striking at a 200 strike rate, and smoked 8 sixes and 5 fours. In the context of the game, all other his teammates were struggling to get runs off the middle of the bat and he alone scored 104 out of the team's 198 runs. That was some innings. In the same match, Virat Kohli also got a ton but it goes in vain as Gill took GT flying high.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="3-cameron-green-100-47-vs-srh-match-no-69"><strong>3-Cameron Green- 100*(47) vs SRH (Match NO. 69)</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/MI-won-33_11zon.jpg" alt="IPL 2023: MI won by 8 wickets, Cameron Green Knocked his first IPL Century" class="wp-image-113481" width="1024" height="1024" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2023 | Image Credit: Twitter </figcaption></figure>



<p>Mumbai Indians roped in Cameron Green for a whopping Rs 17.5 crore at the auction ahead of the ongoing edition of the IPL. He is the second-most expensive player ever. He justified that price tag for MI at a must-win match for MI to qualify for the IPL 2023 Playoffs.</p>



<p>The last match of MI in the league stage, MI standing at no.6 in the points table, all that pressure and Green's TON under that pressure. It was his maiden T20 century and more importantly, it was the most valuable century out of all in this season. He smacked 8 fours and 8 sixes in his innings which means 80 out hundred runs were just in boundaries.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-nicholas-pooran-62-19-vs-rcb-match-no-15"><strong>2- Nicholas Pooran- 62(19) vs RCB (Match NO. 15)</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/99388197-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2023: Top 5 Batting Performances of TATA IPL 2023 League Stage." class="wp-image-113981" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2023: Nicholas Pooran after smoking 62 off 19</figcaption></figure>



<p>The 16 Crore man, Nicholas Pooran, brought chaos into the RCB dugout when it was all under their control. 101 runs and 4 wickets down after 11 overs in a chase of 213 is always a stage where the defending side is in command, but there comes Nicholas Pooran, striking at <strong>a strike rate of over 326</strong> turned the cards within a blink of an eye. </p>



<p>Pooran wrecked the RCB bowling unit to the limits and smashed the fastest century of the TATA IPL 2023 in 15 balls with the help of 4 boundaries and 7 sixes. Hence it was not a century but definitely deserves the second spot in the list.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-rinku-singh-48-21-vs-gt-match-no-13"><strong>1- Rinku Singh- 48*(21) vs GT (Match NO. 13)</strong></h3>



<p>What a find Rinku Singh has been for KKR this season! The left-handed middle-order batsman perhaps known to anyone before this IPL season, who is world-famous now.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Rinku_11zon-1024x682.jpg" alt="IPL 2023: Rinku &amp; Russell Show!! KKR Won by five wickets" class="wp-image-111789" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2023 Image Credit: Twitter</figcaption></figure>



<p>And the reason is his amazing 5-ball 5-sixes against the Gujarat Titans, the defending champs, in Ahmedabad. In his team's grueling 205-run chase, Rinku Singh performed the unthinkable with 29 runs needed off the last over. After Umesh Yadav got a single from the first ball of the final over, Rinku took matters into his own hands and hit 5 maximums in a row off Yash Dayal to secure an incredible victory.</p>



<p>He finished undefeated with a 48. As the season progressed, Rinku's prominence only increased as he emerged as the leader of KKR, scoring 474 runs at an average of 59, which is quite incredible, especially for a player coming at No. 6. This was the best batting performance under pressure any batsman could display. The numbers are small but the impact, those 5 sixes left is enormous.</p>
