For those who don’t know, Rinku was Kolkata’s top scorer last season. He scored 474 runs in 14 matches, hitting four half-centuries at a strike rate of 149.53.
In a memorable moment, the 26-year-old Rinku Singh once smashed five consecutive sixes off Yash Dayal to secure a victory for his team, Kolkata Knight Riders, against the Gujarat Titans. This remarkable feat occurred when the Knight Riders needed 28 runs off the last five balls. His ability to finish games earned him a reputation as a reliable finisher for the franchise.
Rinku’s outstanding performance in the IPL also caught the attention of the national selectors, earning him a maiden call-up to the Indian T20I squad. He carried his IPL heroics into the international arena, scoring 356 runs in 11 innings at a remarkable strike rate of 176.24. So far, he has smashed two half-centuries in international matches.
