Rinku Singh’s stunning final over six-hitting spree which handed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) an unlikely win over Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday earned him a new moniker “beast” from Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan.

Rinku was at his brutal best, smashing five consecutive sixes in the last over en route his unbeaten 48 off just 21 balls as KKR snatched a three-wicket win from the jaws of defeat against GT, for whom their stand-in captain Rashid Khan recorded the first hat-trick of the 2023 IPL season.

Along with Aryan, his father Shah Rukh, sister Suhana Khan and promising actor Ranveer Singh hailed Rinku for playing a stupendous knock at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

“JHOOME JO RINKUUUUU !!! My baby @rinkusingh235 And @NitishRana_27 & @venkateshiyer you beauties!!! And remember Believe that’s all. Congratulations @KKRiders and @VenkyMysore take care of your heart sir,” tweeted Shah Rukh.

Suhana shared a picture of Rinku in her Instagram stories and wrote: “Unreal.” Her close friend and Bollywood actress Ananya Pandey also uploaded a photo of the KKR’s match winner on her Instagram with raising hand emojis.

Meanwhile, Ranveer tweeted: “RINKU !!!!!!!!! RINKU !!!!!!! RINKU !!!!!!! RINKU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeh kya tha!?!?!?!”

Rinku walked in to bat when KKR needed 56 off 30 balls, but Rashid’s hat-trick turned the tide in GT’s favour.

However, the left-handed batter did not give up and eventually took KKR over the finish line. He hit five sixes off Yash Dayal’s final over after smashing Josh Little for a six and a four in the last two balls of the penultimate over.
