Rinku Singh, who struggled a lot in his early years, has already become well-known thanks to his performances this season with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the defending IPL winners. Rinku has also demonstrated strong play in domestic cricket, earning a well-deserved spot in India’s squad for the forthcoming Hangzhou Asian Games, which get underway on September 23.
Abhishek Nayar, an assistant coach for KKR who has closely observed Rinku’s growth, believes that the gifted batter would eventually succeed for India in the finisher position. However, the ex-Indian player counseled the management of the Indian team to give Rinku plenty of opportunities because it might take some time for Rinku to master the “tough” role of a finisher.
There are numerous players who can accomplish that. A particular player, Rinku Singh, excelled as a finisher for the Kolkata Knight Riders during the 16th IPL season. In domestic cricket, he has also played that role, but in my opinion, he still needs more time, a longer rope, and support, said Nayar in a recent interview with the Republic World.
The ability to consistently hit massive sixes is unique to Rinku Singh: Anish Nayar
Tilak Varma, a rising star in the game of batting, received acclaim from Nayar for his outstanding exploits at No. 4 for the Mumbai Indians and most recently for the “Men in Blue.” The 39-year-old was certain that Rinku could contribute consistently for India lower in the order and he outlined what makes the small batter unique.
Being a finisher is extremely difficult, and doing so will likely result in more failures than successes. It calls for a great deal of expertise. The only person that comes to me, and I say it openly and without any bias, is Rinku Singh, said Nayar. “Tilak Varma has proven his mettle up the ladder and he is excellent at number 4, but…
“I’ve seen this Indian kid finish so strong. He possesses the rare ability to go in and reliably hit sixes. He isn’t one of the larger men. He can play that part very well, but he needs that long rope, Nayar said.
