IPL 2026: How KKR’s Rinku Singh ‘caught’ LSG

PIC/IPL

Aiden Markram… caught at long-off

At 65-1 after 10.2 overs, LSG looked in control during their chase of 156 when set batsman Aiden Markram, looking to accelerate, hit Cameron Green towards long-off. Rinku took a running catch to his right, but on realising that the momentum was taking him across the boundary rope, he threw the ball up in the air, stepped outside the fence and returned to the field of play to complete the catch which broke a crucial 57-run stand between Markram and skipper Rishabh Pant.

Mukul Choudhary… caught at deep mid-wkt

Mukul Choudhary, LSG's last-match hero vs KKR, pulled an Anukul Roy delivery towards the longest part of the fence, but didn't get enough distance and Rinku, at deep mid-wicket, grabbed it easily. LSK slipped to 93-5 in 15.2 overs.

George Linde… caught at long-on

With 27 needed off 11 balls, all-rounder George Linde, looked to be the right man to take LSG across the finishline, before he decided to move outside the leg stump and hit pacer Vaibhav Arora towards long-on, only to find Rinku perfectly positioned on the fence to pouch it.

Himmat Singh… caught at deep backward square

With just eight required off the last four balls, Himmat Singh hit an outside-off delivery from pacer Kartik Tyagi towards deep backward square. The shot lacked power and flew towards Rinku, who made no mistake once again.

Markram… caught off a relay effort at long-on

In a dramatic Super Over, batting first, LSG were 1-1 off two balls when Markram hit spinner Sunil Narine towards long-on. Rovman Powell ran to his left and took the catch initially before realising he was about to step on the boundary rope. Showing sharp presence of mind, Powell threw the ball up in the air backwards, where Rinku arrived just in time, running in from long-off, to safely complete the catch.
