Rinku Singh for KKR. (File) Rinku Singh has been making a name for himself in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a key player for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
As a young and dynamic cricketer, he has been hitting the right notes in season 16 and has consistently shown the potential to be a match-winner for KKR.
As Rajasthan Royals travel to take on a resurgent Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, former India cricketers Mohammed Kaif and Hardbhajan Singh praised Rinku for taking his game to the next level with his maturity in IPL 2023.
“Rinku Singh has that maturity. His footwork is very good and he looks to rotate strikes as well. Rinku knows how to convert his form into good knocks and also knows when to shift gears. He is capable of hitting big shots as well,” Kaif said on Star Sports’ Cricket Live.
Rinku can clear the boundaries with ease, a skill that has earned him the reputation of being a dependable finisher in the lower middle order.
Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh – who has spent some time in the KKR dressing room – believes Rinku’s growth will help him earn the elusive India cap soon.
“That India cap is not far away from Rinku’s head. He’s such an inspirational player. He’s run all the hard yards and worked very hard to get to where he is today. Full credit to him for having that belief in himself. His journey is a life lesson and all young kids should learn from him.”
