One of the most epic matches of the tournament so far was between Kolkata and Gujarat, where Rinku Singh pulled off one of the most incredible turnarounds in the tournament's history. Kolkata needed 48 runs from 18 balls, and Rinku Singh hit Yash Thakur for five straight sixes in the final over, leading his team to a thrilling victory. For Rinku Singh, who comes from a humble background and even considered taking a job as a sweeper to support his family, it was a moment to cherish.
