“Last year, Punjab chased a total of 262 runs. All teams are strong this season—anyone can get to 300,” he said
Hyderabad: Kolkata Knight Riders finisher Rinku Singh said that the IPL had reached a stage where even 300 would be possible.
“Last year, Punjab chased a total of 262 runs. All teams are strong this season—anyone can get to 300,” he said.
During a chat on JioStar ‘GenBold’ Rinku Singh said that usually batted at No. 5 or 6. “I have done that for UP and in the IPL, so I’m used to it. I focus a lot on fitness because with 14 matches in the IPL, it’s my responsibility to maintain my body and recover well,” he said about his batting.
“I also speak to Mahi Bhai often — he tells me to stay calm and play according to the match situation. Things fall into place when you stay composed,” Rinku Singh said.
On bonding with West Indian Andre Russell in the team, Rinku Singh said that he had been learning since he started playing in the IPL. “I observe Russell closely, especially how he bats in the final overs, and how he uses his body to generate power. I keep watching and picking up things from him,” he said.
