Memories of Rinku Singh walloping five sixes in the final over of the contest are still very much fresh on the minds of cricket fans. With 29 runs needed to defend off six balls, Gujarat Titans seemed comfortably placed to get the better of Kolkata Knight Riders during their first leg meeting of this season’s Indian Premier League (IPL). But Rinku’s final-over exploits guided Kolkata to one of the most remarkable victories in the history of the game. Gujarat will now be eyeing revenge as they take on Nitish Rana’s men in the return leg of IPL 2023 on Saturday. The match between Kolkata and Gujarat is slated to take place at the Eden Gardens.
Gujarat will head into the contest after winning their last two games. Kolkata, on the other hand, clinched a 21-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last match.
