During the Superstars' run chase, Rinku's dismissal of Adarsh in the fourth over proved crucial. The left-handed batter was bowled out by Rinku's fuller-length delivery as he attempted to gain some space by shifting to the leg side. Rinku celebrated the wicket aggressively, showcasing his impact on the match.
