Zaheer Khan Praises Rinku Singh
Kolkata Knight Riders batter Rinku Singh becomes quite popular right after his 5 sixes in the last over led the team to register an unbelievable victory against Gujarat Titans. Rinku smashed five successive sixes when the side needed 28 to win off the last five balls.
Like Delhi Capitals, KKR missed their regular captain Shreyas Iyer and had a poor season under Nitish Rana. With just 6 victories from 14 games, KKR failed to qualify for the IPL 2023 playoff.

Former West Indies captain Chris Gayle said on JioCinema that Singh will end up getting a massive spike in his IPL salary in 2024, “Rinku Singh has done this on a few occasions for KKR before. I am sure next year, he’s going to get his paycheque a little higher because he’s been the best performer with the bat for KKR.'”
In 14 league matches, Rinku scored 474 runs at an average of 59.25. He has hit four half-centuries, striking at 149.5.
