Rinku Singh Ready for Bigger Role as KKR Seek Batting Stability in IPL 2026

The “great escape” for Kolkata Knight Riders against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday provided much-needed relief, not just for the side but also for Rinku Singh.

While fortune played its part including a dropped catch by Nandre Burger at short third man when Rinku was on just 8 the left-hander capitalised on the opportunity with composure. Showing remarkable temperament, he remained unbeaten on 53, steering KKR to their first victory of the season.
