Subsequent to warming the seat for four seasons, it appears Rinku Singh’s opportunity has at long last arrived. After a few decent knocks this season, he highlighted in quite possibly the most exciting games where he hammered 40 off only 15 balls to pull off a heist.

This might have been a memorable night for the left-hander had KKR pulled this off, yet his innings won the hearts of many including head coach Brendon McCullum.

Not Too Many Can Bat Like Rinku Singh Did: Brendon McCullum

“Rinku’s is an incredible story, a man around the IPL for five years. He sat on the sidelines for so long and worked so hard, he has had to wait for his opportunity, he got it late in the tournament and he’s taken it,” McCullum said in the post-match press conference.

“He plays the game for all the right reasons that I love as a coach and as a fan of cricket as well. Rinku is a player who KKR will invest in, no doubt, over the next few years and we’ll see him progressing. Not too many people can bat like Rinku did and be able to pull games out of the fire. Really pleased for him,” he stated.

“Sunny (Narine), every now and then, is going to come off and play a significant hand that can win some games,” McCullum added.

KKR Exits From The Tournament

A defeat implied that KKR was disposed of from the competition in the wake of having an exciting ride. They started off great and afterward lost themselves; moreover, they battled to put a steady eleven as they went onto field 20 players in the whole competition.

A lot of hacking and changing prompted their ruin. The KKR head coach is currently making a beeline for England where he will assume responsibility as head coach of the England Test side.

“I’m heading in a different direction with the challenge of being able to coach England, but I’ll be following the KKR boys and, particularly, Rinku. I really wish them all the best,” McCullum added.
