The performance of the Kolkata team in IPL 2023 may not have been anything special, but this season many players of this team have performed brilliantly. Varun Chakraborty has shown his spin and made a strong comeback. At the same time, Suyash Sharma has made his mark in Indian cricket by doing wonders this season. However, Rinku Singh has been in the limelight among the Kolkata players. It has been a great season for Rinku, who hit five sixes in the last over against Gujarat to win the team.
Rinku Singh has scored 407 runs in 13 innings in IPL 2023 at an average of 50.88 and a strike rate of 143.31. Due to his brilliant innings, the Kolkata team has won the match many times and remains in the playoff race. However, Kolkata will have to win their next match by a big margin to reach the playoffs and will have to wait for the results of the other teams to come in their favor.
Excellent record while chasing the target
This season, Rinku has batted six times in the second innings and scored 238 runs at a strike rate of 167. During this, his average has been 119. The special thing is that Rinku specializes in batting according to the conditions. While chasing the target, Rinku's playing style is like Dhoni's. He takes the match to the end and tries to win the match by putting pressure on the bowler in the last over.
Rinku gave victory to Kolkata by hitting five sixes in the last five balls against Gujarat. After this, he also scored a brilliant half-century in the match against Chennai. Rinku does not bother chasing the target and bats carefully in the beginning. After this, try to score fast runs in the last over. Dhoni also chases the target in the same way. Although many players fail to hit the big shots in the last over, Rinku has the patience and composure. For this reason, he is being considered as the next Dhoni.
