Goodnight and CHEERS!
Rinku Singh (Player of theMatch): "The belief was there that I can do it. Rana told me to keep believing. Umesh did well to take the single and I backed my ability. I was not thinking much. Just played to the merit of the ball. Back of the hand ball and I hit it straight down the ground for the maximum. I am chuffed and I am going to enjoy it."
Nitish Rana (KKR Captain): "Had a little bit of belief because Rinku had done it in the previous over. However we did not cross the line last year. When he hit the second six then the belief increased as Yash Dayal wasn't able to execute. It is very important to have that belief whenever you are chasing any total, especially as a captain. To be honest, you win a match out off 100 games like this.
When we were bowling we held the match in our grasp. We just bowled two bad overs in the death. Same thing happened with our batting. Rashid Khan's one over put us on the backfoot. Credit goes to Rinku Singh, the 2 points that we have got tonight are just due to his efforts.
People asked me why Rinku is the top ranked player and plays second fiddle. I would like to respond to them tonight that if this is second fiddle then imagine what would be his top performance. We saw how important player he is. In the last match he held one end and tonight if I was batting, I would have thought of hitting 30 in the final over for once but your heart knows what you are capable of. I don't have enough words to describe Rinku's innings."
