Indian cricket supporters would want to believe that Rinku Singh is a new finisher they have found. Ever since making his T20I debut against Ireland in August, the young batter has performed very well.
After hitting Yash Dayal for five straight sixes in the last over of this year’s Indian Premier League to help the Kolkata Knight Riders defeat the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, Rinku’s stock took a significant jump.
Sunil Gavaskar, a legendary former cricket player from India, observed that Rinku Singh stands out from the others because of his confidence in his own skills.
Talent is something that not everyone has. It’s possible to adore the game. You may practice all day, but occasionally you realize that you might not have the necessary skill. Nevertheless, he has demonstrated over the past two to three years that he is capable of doing so. “He was in and out of many teams again in the IPL, but when he did get the chance, the way he seized it was incredible,” Gavaskar remarked on Star Sports.
After six T20I innings, Rinku Singh has amassed 180 runs with a strike rate of 187.50 and an average of 60. Against South Africa in the three-match Twenty20 International series, he will be crucial to India’s hopes. Gavaskar said that the southpaw’s skills are being compared to those of Yuvraj Singh, one of the best match-winners in Indian history in white-ball cricket. Rinku would have accomplished something extraordinary if he could even come close to what Yuvraj accomplished for the nation, according to the former captain of India.
He is currently a member of an Indian squad. And now there are a tonne of really high standards for them. Now, many anticipate that he will be another Yuvraj Singh. Yuvraj Singh as Rinku Singh. Therefore, Gavaskar stated, “Yuvraj will have done wonderfully well if you can do even a fraction of what he did for Indian cricket.”
In addition, Rinku has been called up for the first time to the Indian ODI team for the three-match series that will start after the three Twenty20 Internationals are over. With major tournaments like the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy approaching, he would prefer to solidify his spot in both white-ball forms.
