It's An Amazing Feeling, Not Easy For Me To Describe In Words: Rinku Singh After Ireland T20Is Call-Up
Rinku's life has been changed after he helped his franchise win an IPL game against Gujarat Titans, hitting 5 consecutive sixes on the final 5 balls.
Kolkata Knight Riders' young batter Rinku Singh had a great 2023 season of the IPL where he played a few amazing knocks for his team. As a result, he got selected for the upcoming Asian Games in India’s squad. This is just the beginning for the young batter as he has also been added to India’s team that will be locking horns against Ireland in a T20I series in August. Speaking about it, Rinku said it’s a dream for him to play for the nation.
“Sapne jaisa hi hai(This is like a dream). I don't want to wake up anytime soon. It's an amazing feeling, not easy for me to describe in words. I have reached this level from absolutely nothing. I am an emotional person, and every time I talk to my parents, we end up crying, "Rinku was quoted as saying by Indian Express.
Rinku's life has been changed after he helped his franchise win an IPL game against Gujarat Titans, hitting 5 consecutive sixes on the final 5 balls.
"I have been with the KKR for six years. I got my chances initially but failed to make those count. I have learned a lot during my early years with the team. I worked hard on my batting with Abhishek Nayar sir at the KKR academy in Mumbai. All that hard work is paying off," said Rinku.
"No other franchise would have kept me after failing regularly, but the KKR team management and Abhishek sir saw something in me that even I couldn't. I would bat five to six hours everyday in the nets and learnt new shots. I think in those three years, I became an all-round batsman. I did well in the IPL, got recognition, and now am rewarded with an India call-up," he added.
The Indian team will kickstart the series from August 18 where senior pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be leading the Indian side. Bumrah is set to make a comeback after a long injury hiatus.
