In a display of brute force and precision, Rinku launched an onslaught, smashing two consecutive sixes followed by a boundary and a quick double, ensuring he retained the strike.
With three sixes and a boundary to his name, he propelled KKR towards a formidable total, all while putting immense pressure on the DC bowlers.

Despite his departure, his quickfire 26 off just 8 balls had already left a significant impact on the game.
Earlier in the match, Sunil Narine's explosive batting had set the tone for KKR's innings, as he blazed his way to a 21-ball half-century. Narine's onslaught, coupled with Rinku's fireworks towards the end, showcased KKR's depth in batting and their ability to dominate even against a formidable bowling attack like that of DC.
KKR posted a formidable score of 272 runs for the DC's batting lineup, which is the second-highest team total in IPL history in a 20-over match.
