Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star Rinku Singh revealed that the bat he played with against Gujarat Titans was gifted by his skipper Nitish Rana. With 28 needed off 5 deliveries, Rinku hits five successive sixes to win it for Kolkata against Gujarat Titans.

In a video posted by IPL, KKR skipper Nitish Rana asked Rinku about his batting and what was going through his mind in the last over.

''Rinku how are you feeling now and everyone wants to know what was going through your mind when 28 was needed off the last five balls,'' asks Rana.

"There was a doubt in my mind as I was not playing well and was not able to connect the ball properly," replied Rinku.

With 39 needed of the last eight balls, Rinku rose to the occasion as he hit the last two balls of the 19th over, bowled by Josh Little, for a six and four.

Rinku says that a couple of hits against Little have given him confidence.

"I was not thinking much during those last five balls, I was just playing according to the merit of the ball," he said.

Rinku also revealed that he was having a flashback of last year, when he couldn't finish the match against Lucknow Super Giants. In that match Rinkus smahed 15-ball 40 and with 21 to get in the last over, went 4, 6, 6, against Marcus Stoinis.

But Stoinis defended 4 off 3 by picking up two wickets in two balls, including the wicket of Rinku, who was brilliantly caught by Evin Lewis as sweeper cover. KKR lost the match by two runs, while chasing 211.

"I was having flashbacks of the last year. We were in the situation, and I couldn't able to finish it off," says Rinku.

In a heartwarming gesture Nitish Rana, who gave his bat to Rinku, could have given Rinku anything.

"I gave you my bat and you hit those five sixes from it, if you want anything else from me, feel free to ask," said Rana.
