Rinku Singh Almost Wins It For KKR, But For Evin Lewis’s Brilliant One-Handed Catch

But then they departed very close to the target and it was left to Rinku Singh and Sunil Narine to do the needful and they almost did it. Narine remained unbeaten on 21 in 7 balls, while Rinku made 40 in 15 balls with 4 sixes and 2 fours.

His innings came to an end in a thrilling final over, when 21 were needed and he had hit four and two sixes. But he tried to go for one more off Stoinis, managing to sky it over cover. Lewis sprinted 30 yards and dove while sticking out his left paw to claw onto the ball.

In the end, KKR feel 2 runs short of the target and as a result were eliminated from the IPL 2022, while LSG qualified for the playoffs.
