TIL Desk Sports/ Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer lavished praise on Rinku Singh for showing “outstanding” calmness under pressure, calling him an “asset” for the team.
Singh smashed an unbeaten 23-ball 42, studded with six boundaries and a six, as he and Nitish Rana (48 not out) easily chased down a 153-run for a seven-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.
“I was talking to my teammates in the dressing room and was like, the way he’s maintaining his calm even in such pressure situations playing his second or third game, it’s outstanding,” said Iyer, during the post-match presentation ceremony. “Building that partnership with Nitish Rana in that situation, it’s something we have to praise about and he’s a great asset for the future in the franchise. “The way he has given starts right from the first game, he doesn’t look like a newcomer in the team.
