Brett Lee predicts stardom for Rinku, says he’ll become a household name

Nitish Rana - Kolkata Knight Riders - KKR

Brett Lee predicted that Rinku Singh is going to have a very bright career. Lee further said that he thinks that Rinku will soon be a household name.

The Kolkata Knight Riders kept their play-off hopes alive with a five-wicket victory over the Punjab Kings in IPL 2023. Punjab set a target of 180 runs with Shikhar Dhawan leading the charge with a 47-ball 57. KKR’s captain Nitish Rana top-scored for his team with 51 runs off just 38 deliveries. Despite Rana’s dismissal in the 16th over, KKR’s Andre Russell and Rinku Singh took them to victory in a thrilling match that went down to the last ball.

The win helped KKR rise to the fifth spot in the points table while PBKS slipped to seventh. Russell was awarded the Player of the Match for his impactful 42-run performance, which included hitting three sixes in four balls against Sam Curran in the 19th over of the game. JioCinema IPL expert Brett Lee praised Russell’s efforts as well, on the night.

Rinku is performing under pressure everytime: Parthiv

“He has a massive responsibility. Performing under pressure is very important. As a player, it shows the way you think and what your mindset is. We’ve seen the skill Rinku Singh has when he hit those five sixes in an over but today, it was more challenging. He saw Andre Russell take a run on the bye because he would’ve thought to keep a player like Russell on the strike. The way Rinku Singh took the game to the last ball despite Arshdeep (Singh) bowling well. The way Rinku Singh is batting and finishing games is a massive talking point. He was not out today as well and him winning them the game is a massive plus point for any player,”

Parthiv said.
