TIME FOR RINKU TO REGAIN MOJO
The Morning Standard
|March 21, 2026
Three years after breakthrough campaign for KKR, the batter has the opportunity to remind the world of his abilities
THAT unforgettable last over bowled by Yash Dayal for Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad during the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) changed everything for Rinku Singh.
Needing 28 off the last five balls, the left-hand batter went 6, 6, 6, 6 and 6 to script a memorable win for Kolkata Knight Riders, a sequence that will remain etched in memories of the fans forever.
Only a few months later he got an India call-up. Soon, he became an integral part of the T20I set up. After making his debut in the format against Treland in Dublin on August 18, 2023, he featured in all 17 matches India played before the start of the 2024 T20 World Cup.
With the 2024 IPL edition preceding the World Cup, another good show in the league could have cemented his place in the team but that didn’t happen.
