He played for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL . However, Lucknow is his home, he plays domestic cricket for Uttar Pradesh. And it was on that field, in that city that Rinku Singh shone. Be it batting or fielding, in the match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG vs KKR), Rinku left no stone unturned. Seeing his performance, Dale Steyn said, ‘Rinku woke up this morning and came with the decision that he will win the match’. Rinku played honestly, but that’s how it was. This season, KKR has lost one match after another. Rinku was also not able to perform well. Rinku has also faced criticism. However, in the last two matches, he has returned to the field and with him, KKR has returned to victory . He seemed to have taken the field with extra enthusiasm against Lucknow Super Giants on Super Sunday. After a brilliant innings, the extra emotion and excitement was clearly visible in him while fielding. After scoring his IPL career-best unbeaten 83 in the match, Rinku took four catches in the stipulated 20 overs and one in the Super Over, a total of five catches. As the rightful person, he hit the winning shot in the Super Over. He was also declared the Man of the Match.
When asked about his fielding, Rinku admitted that he enjoys fielding. ‘I have loved fielding since I was a child, and fortunately, my physique and fitness are such that I can run. So I love fielding.’ After two consecutive wins, KKR is finally seeing some glimmer of hope this season. Knights fans will hope that this light does not go out in the upcoming matches.
