In fact, Rinku's good show with the bat and on-the-field earned him the player of the match. Rinku revealed the plan he had when he went out to bat. He admitted that the idea was to build the innings with singles and doubles. 

"Whenever I go in to bat and the team has already lost 3-4 wickets, my focus is on how to control and take the game forward. I think about how to rotate strike - get singles and doubles - and where I can find boundaries. My main aim is always to take the game till the end. The plan was simple: since wickets had fallen, I focused on playing safe, building the innings with singles/doubles, and hitting a boundary whenever I got a bad ball," he said at the post-match presentation. 

KKR Keep Playoff Hopes Alive

The win ensured Kolkata keep their hopes of making the playoff alive. While it is going to be very difficult to actually make it through, the good thing is they have finally got some momentum on their side.
