Rinku Singh leads with maturity after Ajinkya Rahane exits with cramps
During Mumbai Indians’ chase, KKR were hit with a sudden shock when skipper Ajinkya Rahane had to leave the field because of severe cramps and dehydration around the seventh over. Rahane had already played a classy knock of 67 off 40 balls, but he looked visibly uncomfortable during the fielding.
In his absence, Rinku was asked to take charge on the field. He did his best under the pressure, rotating his bowlers better than expected and stretching the match much longer than anyone thought possible after MI’s explosive start.
Rinku’s on-field calls showed maturity and confidence despite leading for the first time. Earlier, Rinku had played a crucial role with the bat against MI. He smashed an unbeaten 33 off just 21 balls, hitting four boundaries to help KKR cross the 220-run mark in the IPL 2026 clash in Mumbai.
