We have some great players playing for this country. I’m really looking forward to Rinku, Inshallah and the other young players from the team being part of the World Cup squad,” SRK said.
It was emotional as Star Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Rinku Singh to rise to the top. Since the legendary victory over Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023, Rinku has emerged as a star player for KKR and also played for the Indian team in white-ball cricket.
It is worth noting that Rinku Singh has so far played 15 T20I matches for India, scoring 356 runs while maintaining an impressive average of 89.00 and a staggering strike rate of 176.23. It’s about being there.
Rinku’s name has been much talked about in the Indian team’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 so far, scoring 123 runs in 9 matches in IPL 2024. Speaking about this, his Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently expressed his desire to see the star batsman play for India in the World Cup.
“Such great players are playing for their country. I’m really looking forward to Rinku, Inshallah and the other young players from the team being in the World Cup squad. There are some players who deserve praise, but my personal wish is that Rinku makes the team. You will be very happy. This will be a highlight for me,” SRK told Star Sports.
“I just want them to feel happy. And when I watch them play, I feel like a sportsperson myself. Especially Rinku and Nitish. “I identify with players like (Lana),” he added. “I’m really happy when they perform well.”
As the playoff battle intensifies, KKR will advance in the race by overcoming DC.
