A number of superstars have represented their countries after finding success in the IPL. This season as well, a number of youngsters have impressed the cricket fraternity with their skillsets.

The 25-year-old batter from Kolkata Knight Riders has shown great maturity in finishing games and has done it consistently.

Rinku’s five consecutive sixes were the first ever instance when a match has been won with five maximums on the last five balls. Apart from that, the left-hander also made an important cameo against the Punjab Kings. He smacked a four to win the game on the last ball when two runs were needed. In a recent interaction, the 25-year-old spoke about an important piece of advice he got from MS Dhoni.

The CSK skipper is probably one of the best finishers that the game has seen. As quoted by India Today, Rinku said, “MS Dhoni is 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 also spoke on his batting style, which he has adapted to the ongoing tournament. The southpaw said that he wants to keep it simple, play simple shots, and play according to the situation. So far, the left-hander has scored 337 runs in 11 innings at an average of 56.17 and a strike rate of 151.12, with 21 sixes. He will be back in action on Thursday, when Kolkata will take on the Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens.
