The win also sparked plenty of buzz beyond cricket, as a friendly post-match exchange involving Narine and Rinku\u2019s family turned into an instant social media hit.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>KKR beat Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026 on Sunday.<\/li>\n<li>Kolkata were in trouble at 93\/7 before Rinku Singh\u2019s unbeaten 83 (51 balls).<\/li>\n<li>KKR finished on 155\/7; LSG matched it, forcing a Super Over.<\/li>\n<li>Sunil Narine conceded 1 run and took 2 wickets in the Super Over.<\/li>\n<li>KKR completed the chase off the very first ball of the Super Over, with Rinku striking the winning runs.<\/li>\n<li>Narine dismissed Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram in the Super Over, leaving LSG with 1 run (lowest-ever Super Over total).<\/li>\n<li>Rinku took four catches and was named Player of the Match.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After the match, a light moment between Rinku, his family, and Narine quickly grabbed attention. During a video call, Rinku\u2019s sister greeted Narine with \u201cHello bhaiya,\u201d but Rinku promptly corrected her\u2014asking her to use \u201cbrother\u201d instead, since Narine doesn\u2019t understand Hindi.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the correction, she continued to praise him in Hindi, saying, \u201cBahut acchi bowling kari aapne,\u201d translating to \u201cYou bowled really well.\u201d Rinku then relayed her words, and Narine replied with a warm, smiling \u201cThank you very much,\u201d leaving everyone laughing and the clip to spread rapidly online.<\/p>\n<h3>How the match swung<\/h3>\n<p>On the field, KKR had been pushed into a corner at 93\/7. That is where Rinku Singh stepped in and changed the tempo and the trajectory of the innings, remaining unbeaten on 83 off 51 balls. His knock helped Kolkata reach 155\/7, setting up a tense chase for LSG.<\/p>\n<p>Lucknow matched the total and dragged the game into a Super Over, setting the stage for a pressure-packed showdown. In that decider, Sunil Narine stood out as the difference-maker\u2014giving away only one run while also picking up two crucial wickets.<\/p>\n<p>KKR\u2019s chase in the Super Over began immediately with the result in sight, as the target was reached off the first ball. Rinku struck the winning runs to complete a memorable victory for his side, turning a near-certain collapse into one of the most dramatic finishes of the night.<\/p>\n<p>Narine\u2019s impact in the Super Over was even more pronounced because he dismissed Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram, limiting LSG to just one run. That mark became the lowest-ever total in a Super Over, underlining how decisive the spell was when the match was on a knife-edge.<\/p>\n<p>Rinku\u2019s all-round influence didn\u2019t end with the bat. He also impressed in the field, taking four catches and staying involved throughout the contest. The standout display earned him the Player of the Match award and capped off a high-pressure performance that defined the outcome for KKR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kolkata Knight Riders produced a dramatic finish against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026 on Sunday, with Rinku Singh delivering when it mattered most\u2014both at&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"KKR vs LSG IPL 2026: Rinku Singh\u2019s heroics win it","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"KKR stun LSG in IPL 2026 as Rinku Singh\u2019s late heroics seal the win, with Narine\u2019s family chat adding viral magic after the match.","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>KKR vs LSG IPL 2026: Rinku Singh\u2019s heroics win it<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"KKR stun LSG in IPL 2026 as Rinku Singh\u2019s late heroics seal the win, with Narine\u2019s family chat adding viral magic after the match.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/1win.za.com\/ipl\/rinku-singhs-clutch-show-narine-family-chat-rocks-kkrs-ipl-2026-win\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"KKR vs LSG IPL 2026: Rinku Singh\u2019s heroics win it\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"KKR stun LSG in IPL 2026 as Rinku Singh\u2019s late heroics seal the win, with Narine\u2019s family chat adding viral magic after the match.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/1win.za.com\/ipl\/rinku-singhs-clutch-show-narine-family-chat-rocks-kkrs-ipl-2026-win\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"1Win India\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-04-27T06:22:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/1win.za.com\/ipl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ipl-2026-bhaiya-nahi-brother-ef3c.webp\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1186\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"675\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/webp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Arjun Patel\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Arjun Patel\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/1win.za.com\\\/ipl\\\/rinku-singhs-clutch-show-narine-family-chat-rocks-kkrs-ipl-2026-win#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/1win.za.com\\\/ipl\\\/rinku-singhs-clutch-show-narine-family-chat-rocks-kkrs-ipl-2026-win\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Arjun Patel\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/1win.za.com\\\/ipl\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/9aac810730409fd3131f08f34023f33e\"},\"headline\":\"Rinku Singh\u2019s clutch show &#038;
