In IPL-16, the team of Kolkata Knight Riders could not enter the playoffs but its player Rinku Singh is being praised a lot. The 25-year-old Aligarh player says that he too is not thinking about selection in Team India. Rinku, who hit five consecutive sixes in the last over in the win against Gujarat, is considered by former India coach Ravi Shastri as a contender to be included in the World Cup team, but Rinku said that anyone would be happy to have such a good season, but I am yet to be selected in the Indian team. I'm not thinking about Rinku playing an unbeaten 67 off 33 balls against Lucknow. Although the team had to face defeat by one run.

Rinku has a great hunger for success, his future is bright: Flower
Lucknow Supergiants coach Andy Flower believes Rinku Singh is a potential contender for a place in the Indian team with his calm demeanor and hunger for success. The 25-year-old Rinku has been a stellar performer in Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) tumultuous IPL campaign. KKR's team was out of IPL-16 after losing by one run to Lucknow Supergiants here on Saturday.
Rinku tried her best to bring them so close again, said Flower, wasn't it? We were in a really good position but if they could win it from there it would be amazing. The former coach of England's T20 World Cup and Ashes-winning team said Rinku has a bright future. He said, 'He looks like a physically gifted guy. There is a hunger for success in him and at the same time, he is also humble. He is confident in what he can do. He is a really good package. Flower said, there is so much talent in batting in India. He is showing that he can do it under pressure, which is an important aspect of playing international cricket. I think he has a bright future.
