Kolkata: The magic of Arshdeep Singh, who made the world crazy while bowling stumps against Mumbai, did not work against Kolkata Knight Riders. In an IPL match, on the last ball of the last over, Rinku Singh forced Punjab Kings to defeat by hitting a four against Arshdeep. As soon as the ball crossed the boundary after being hit by Rinku Singh’s bat, Arshdeep Singh sat on the ground dejected. KKR has kept their hopes of reaching the playoffs alive with this win. It is also being claimed on social media that Arshdeep had tears in his eyes after Rinku Singh’s winning four. Arshdeep, who turned the match against Mumbai in the last over, ran out Russell in this over, but he could not stop Rinku from hitting the winning four. This happened for the 7th time in this season that the result of the match came on the last ball. As soon as Rinku hit the boundary, there was a wave of happiness in the KKR camp, while Punjab was disappointed.
Punjab captain Dhawan said after the match, ‘Not feeling well. We lost the match and it was not an easy wicket to bat on and I think we scored well. He played well in the end. Fast bowler Arshdeep Singh had to stop KKR from scoring six runs in the final over to win. He took the match till the last ball but could not save his team from defeat.

Dhawan lauded Arshdeep saying, “The last over was brilliant, great effort from Arshdeep and the way he came back after the last match, all credit goes to him.” It was interesting that he took the match till the very last ball. It was really good.
In the context of the opposition teams making big scores consistently, Dhawan said, ‘I think we do not have a good off-spinner. When left-handed batsmen come in, we have a leg-spinner at one end and a left-arm spinner at the other end. That’s why I think we are giving away a few more runs.
