Sunil Narine removed Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram as the Super Giants only managed one run before Rinku Singh completed the formality, finishing the game with a boundary off the first ball.
The match ended in a tie when both teams finished at 155 after Mohammed Shami hit a last-ball six off Kartik Tyagi, who was defending 16 in the final over.
Neither team was in complete control of the game during the second innings as Super Giants lost wickets regularly, with a collective bowling effort keeping Knight Riders in the hunt.
Rishabh Pant top-scored with a 38-ball 42 but didn’t find much support from the rest of the batters. Impact Sub Himmat Singh scored 19 off 10, including two fours and a six, to bring LSG close, but KKR managed to keep itself alive when he was caught in the last over.
Earlier, Mohsin Khan’s deceptiveness outsmarted KKR batters before Rinku’s solo effort took his team to a competitive total.
Rinku hit four consecutive sixes off Digvesh Rathi in the last over to take 26 runs, after hammering 17 off Mohammed Shami. The KKR vice-captain moved from 53 off 42 to finish unbeaten on 83 off 51 balls.

His innings came after a poor start, after being put in to bat on a black-soil surface. Mohsin had Tim Seifert caught at short cover before he deceived Ajinkya Rahane with an off-cutter.
In the following over, Angkrish Raghuvanshi was adjudged out obstructing the field. Then, Mohsin returned to remove Rovman Powell.
Just when Cameron Green and Rinku looked to revive the innings, Mohsin had the former caught before completing his five-wicket haul, removing Anukul Roy for a first-ball duck.
LSG bowlers did well until the 18th over to keep the scoring rate in check before Rinku gave KKR some breathing space, enough to get his side a second win.
