Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star batter Rinku Singh recently recalled the advice he received from legendary captain MS Dhoni during the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season.
Rinku Singh was impressive playing for KKR in the 16th edition of the cash-rich league. Rinku’s five sixes against Gujarat Titans (GT) during the IPL 2023 season drastically changed the young batter’s life. The youngster steered the two-time IPL champions in their comeback victory but he is also being backed by many veteran cricketers to get India’s call-up.
The 25-year-old batter recently revealed a piece of advice from the maestro of finishing, Dhoni. The youngster recalled asking the CSK captain once about different approaches to finishing the game. He revealed that the veteran complimented his batting and advised him to focus on hitting the ball straight rather than worrying about what the bowler would do.
“Mahi bhai is the best finisher, so I was asking him what the other ways to finish the game he told me, I was watching your batting, you batted well, he told me when the last over is going on, try to hit straight, let the bowler do what he wants to,” Rinku told the Sports Hour.
KKR finished in eighth place in the IPL 2023 points table with 12 points, missing out on the playoffs. He batted brilliantly in many of Kolkata’s games this season. One of his best innings came against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in KKR’s final league stage clash, when he scored an unbeaten 67* off 33 deliveries to help his team edge closer to victory. He has also amassed 474 runs in 14 games with a stunning average of 59.25 and a strike rate of 149.52, including four half-centuries, and finished as Kolkata’s highest run-scorer.
