6. Rinku Singh
Truth be told, Rinku Singh isn’t just a cricketer; but a success story that holds the power to inspire one and all.
A brave cricketer that can actually hit a six at any point of time in the game, Singh brought out his A-game in the much important contest against the Lucknow Super Giants.
Though the win eventually belonged to KL Rahul’s team, that Rinku fired 40 off just 15 deliveries, which is no more than two and a half overs worth of stay, helped Kolkata inch closer to the improbable 211.
Statistically speaking, Rinku Singh scored a fifth of his team’s total single-handedly, something you’d truly consider incredible since it was a game where even the big guns Russell and Billings failed to get going.
Singh is also a fine fielder who patrols the outfield with great focus.
How far can Rinku take his India career, if and when that happens, will form the next big headline of the Aligarh-born’s journey.
