Congratulations @KKRiders and @VenkyMysore take care of your heart sir!” The KKR owner lauded the match-winning effort from Rinku Singh and congratulated the whole team for the outstanding victory over the defending champion. Apart from him, Venkatesh Iyer also scored 83 runs off 40 balls during that successful chase.
After the match, Iyer also claimed that Rinku Singh saved the match and that this win would be a great moral booster for them going forward in the tournament. Iyer said: "It was a nail-biting finish, extremely happy that we won the game. Our coach has always said that we can score 200 on any given day. Honestly, the wicket was quite good to bat. When the target is 200, you can't have silent overs. I was just trying to execute my plans. Me and Nitish had a good partnership. Unfortunately, somewhere we lost our way but Lord Rinku saved the day. To be honest, we still believed that we could win. This teaches us that we should never give up until the last ball."
