Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan delivered a short but motivational speech to his players after the two-time winners pulled out a heist for the ages at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday evening.

Having been set a huge total of 205 by the Gujarat Titans, the Knight Riders looked dead and buried at the start of the 20th over despite the best efforts from Venkatesh Iyer (83 off 40 deliveries).

With 29 runs to get off the last deliveries, Rinku Singh turned on his beast mode as he went on to smash five consecutive sixes to pull off an unprecedented heist.

Addressing the team after the miraculous win, SRK asked his players to keep believing in themselves and put their best foot on the field as they have done in the last two games. He also addressed Rinku as "my child".

Here's what KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan said:

‘’Rinku, my child! All of you, so I won’t bore you. I’ll just say, whether people believe in you or not, you have to believe in yourself. So please go out there, and do what you do best, enjoy yourselves and be healthy. Don’t get hurt, and God bless you, and Thank You "

As expected, Rinku was adjudged the 'Player of the Match' for his match-winning 21-ball 48*. Also, the 40 runs he scored in 7 consecutive deliveries is now the highest by a batsman in IPL history.

Courtesy of two consecutive victories, the Knight Riders have moved to the 3rd spot in the points table. They will now take on the SunRisers Hyderabad at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 14.
