IPL 2026: Rinku's Counterattack And Narine’s Composure Were Key To KKR’s Win, Opines Irfan Pathan
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan credited Rinku Singh’s late counterattack and Sunil Narine’s composure under pressure as the defining factors behind Kolkata Knight Riders’ dramatic Super Over win against Lucknow Super Giants in their recently concluded IPL 2026 clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
Reflecting on the nature of the contest, Pathan highlighted how the conditions in Lucknow played a significant role in keeping scores in check and bringing bowlers into the game.
“The quality of bowling was outstanding, and the pitch definitely had something in it, a bit of bounce and movement, which made batting challenging. We’ve seen that in Lucknow this season, posting big scores haven’t been easy. But the turning point was Rinku Singh’s counterattack against Digvesh Rathi. That one over where he scored 26 runs completely shifted the momentum. Even though KKR lost a few key moments, that phase changed the game, and from there, they found a way to stay in the contest and eventually come out on top,” Pathan told JioStar.
