GT vs KKR: Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh play a valuable role in KKR’s win
Venkatesh Iyer had what is typically called “the second season syndrome” last season. Last year was difficult for this Rajnikanth fan because I had a significant part to play in the Kolkata Knight Riders’ advancement to the final in the 2021 season. His bowling has taken a back seat since he has appeared as an Impact Player twice this season, including in this game.
After the openers were dismissed early on Sunday, Iyer took the initiative to stabilize Kolkata and keep them in the chase by striking a typically skillful half-century. As he reached fifty off 26 deliveries, the lofted strokes that make him difficult to bowl to were once again prominent.
However, when the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated the Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday, April 9, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Venkatesh Iyer praised Rinku Singh. In the final over, with the Knight Riders requiring 29 runs, Rinku smacked left-arm pacer Yash Dayal for five consecutive sixes. The Men in Gold and Purple completed their second-most successful run-chase in IPL history as Rinku remained undefeated on 48 runs off 21 balls.
