IPL 2023: “He hasn’t shown his range yet again” Parthiv Patel on Rinku Singh’s shot selection

Rinku Singh has been one of the most popular names in the Indian premier league 2023 since he won crucial games for Kolkata Knight Riders as a middle-order batsman in the early stages of the tournament.

Rinku Singh became a household name in India since he smashed five sixes in the last over to Joshua Little and make Kolkata Knight Riders seal an easy victory against Gujarat Titans in the 13th Match of the TATA IPL 2023 in Ahmedabad.

Kolkata Knight Riders recently locked horns with Chennai Super Kings for the latter’s last game in their home ground Chennai. Kolkata Knight Riders’ destructive bowling attack restricted Chennai Super Kings to 144 runs.

Chennai Super Kings grabbed early wickets in the powerplay to make it miserable for Kolkata Knight Riders to achieve the low score target. The team’s saviours, Skipper Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh both scored half-centuries to make Kolkata Knight Riders win.

Rinku Singh put 54 on the scoreboard and played 43 deliveries with a strike rate of 125.58 while smashing four fours and three sixes to make KKR win against Chennai Super Kings in the 62nd match of the TATA IPL 2023 in the M.Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

IPL 2023: Parthiv Patel on Rinku Singh’s knock against CSK

The Jio cricket expert Parthiv Patel had some interesting observations about Rinku Singh’s knock and his batting style as he led Kolkata Knight Riders to yet another easy victory.

“He has shown his range yet again. Today, he came to bat during the powerplay, and the way he played against Ravindra Jadeja, there was great maturity in his shot selection. He is showing different dimensions of his batting we saw that he was playing in the lower order previously but today he came and batted in the powerplay and played till there were just a few runs left. We have seen him staying not out till the end and the most important sign of a good batsman is to win the match for his side. Though unfortunately, he was run out today, he brought the match to a position from where KKR couldn’t have lost.” Said Parthiv Patel on JioCinema.
