Rinku Singh, the latest sensation from Kolkata Knight Riders revealed what MS Dhoni told him during Chennai Super Kings’ trip to Kolkata. He also spoke about his intention of playing simple shots.
Rinku Singh has made a name for himself gradually since last IPL season. This year he has gotten more opportunities and utilized them really well. The way he hit five consecutive sixes to win a match for Kolkata Knight Riders against Gujarat Titans, is nothing short of a fairytale. Rinku Singh has scored 337 runs in 11 matches, striking at over 150. He has smashed 21 sixes and as many boundaries as well. Many think he has the potential to play the role of finisher in Indian cricket team. Rinku Singh has hit 11 sixes in the last two overs in IPL 2023 and has batted at strike rate 200 in the 20th over of the season. He has shown that he has the ability to remain calm and perform under pressure.
These are the traits that have made Mahendra Singh Dhoni the greatest finisher. Naturally when Rinku got the opportunity to meet MS Dhoni, he asked the veteran’s advice. On Wednesday Rinku revealed, “He’s the world’s best finisher I just asked ‘Bhaiya’ what else I could do while I’m going to bat. He just told me don’t think much, just wait for the ball and play according to it.”
He further added, “I want to play simple shots. I don’t want to play extravagant shots. I play according to balls and as per situation. All players work on their own shots, and I try to be very simple,” he added.
Kolkata Knight Riders have 10 points from 11 matches and are at the sixth spot currently in the IPL 2023 Points Table.
