A Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star gave a testament to his sheer power and explosive hitting abilities during the ongoing Uttar Pradesh T20 League (UPT20 2024). The incident happened during a match between the Meerut Mavericks and Lucknow Falcons earlier today (September 1).
KKR’s Rinku Singh, who is plying his trade for the Meerut Mavericks and is also captaining the side, slammed a whirlwind knock of 39 runs off just 12 balls, at a towering strike rate of 325.

Samarth Singh was exceptional for Lucknow, scoring 69 off 27 balls, including nine boundaries and four sixes. He built a 57-run partnership for the second wicket with Kritagya Singh in just 25 balls.
