In the IPL 2026 clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, young batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s brilliant innings came to a disappointing end due to poor communication between the wickets, and it also brought out a clear unhappy reaction from Rinku Singh.

Rinku Singh unhappy after mix-up

The moment came around the 10th over, with KKR chasing a massive 227. Pressure was already building and this just made things worse.

Rinku Singh made room and cut a delivery from Shivang Kumar towards the left of backward point. He called for a single at first, but then suddenly stopped after seeing the fielder move quickly to the ball. By that time, Angkrish Raghuvanshi had already committed and was almost halfway down the pitch.

There was no way back then. Malinga picked up the ball cleanly and sent in a direct throw to the bowler’s end, Shivang Kumar did the rest. It turned out to be a simple run-out in the end, but a costly one for KKR.

Rinku Singh didn’t look pleased at all after that. He was seen saying something and making a gesture towards Raghuvanshi, clearly frustrated in that moment even though the confusion started at his end.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s effort stands out

Despite the way his innings ended, Angkrish Raghuvanshi once again showcased his talent. He walked in at number three after an early wicket and looked confident from the start.

He first added some important runs with Ajinkya Rahane, then built a decent stand with Rinku Singh to keep KKR in the game for a while. The youngster completed a fine half-century in just 29 balls, hitting six fours and two sixes.

The ending may not have gone his way, but the innings itself was impressive.
