Rinku Singh has had a season to remember in the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year but the explosive middle order batter is not thinking about selection for the national team despite lighting up the league with his batting heroics.
Lucknow Super Giants secured a 1-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match on Saturday, securing their spot in the playoffs. With LSG assured of their 3rd spot in the points table, the 4th place is still up for grabs between Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians, and Rajasthan Royals, the excitement among fans and former cricketers is at its peak. Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh, who has been working as a pundit in this IPL, admitted being concerned over another potential Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli clash with RCB to qualify for playoffs.
Truly one of the finest finishers in the T20 game at present, Rinku Singh produced another masterclass for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League 2023 on Saturday. Though Rinku's unbeaten 67-run knock wasn't enough to take the team past Lucknow Super Giants' score of 176 runs, he earned plenty of respect from opponents and fans for another breathtaking knock. After the end of the match, Rinku also spoke about his Indian national cricket team ambitions. But, the focus for the uncapped star remains training and doing things that are in his hand, and not selection, which he has no control over.
Rinku Singh's fighting knock of 67 runs wasn't enough as Lucknow Super Giants defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by a slender 1-run marring in an absolute thriller of a contest at the Eden Gardens. Rinku, who has produced some heroic chases this season for the Knight Riders, almost pulled off another one on Saturday. Rinku made his intentions clear in the final phases of the game, especially when he slammed a gigantic 110-meter six against LSG pacer Naveen-ul-Haq to bring up his half-century.
Chennai Super Kings may struggle to capitalise on the home advantage during the IPL qualifiers as they are still "not sure" of the conditions at the Chepauk, head coach Stephen Fleming said. CSK became the second team to qualify for the playoffs after they registered a thumping 77-run win over Delhi Capitals here on Saturday. The four-time champions are likely to finish in the top two. The top four teams will head to Chennai next to play Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator.
Kolkata Knight Riders nearly pulled off a sensational chase against Lucknow Super Giants, all because of the ever-reliable Rinku Singh. This time, however, Rinku's effort fell marginally short, with LSG securing a 1-run victory to qualify for the playoffs. The result might not have gone KKR's way but Rinku earned plenty of praise from the cricketing fraternity and fans on social media. Even Lucknow mentor Gautam Gambhir took to Twitter to post a 'sensational' tweet for the Knight Riders man.
Lucknow Super Giants captain Krunal Pandya on Saturday lauded his side's fighting spirit in their thrilling one-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders that took them to the IPL play-offs. LSG's regular skipper KL Rahul was ruled out of the tournament earlier this month after injuring his right thigh in a match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Krunal was handed the captaincy and he did an impressive job, leading the side into the play-offs.
The on-field altercation between Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli and Lucknow Super Giants fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq has been grabbing headlines for quite some time now. Since the incident, the fans have been linking almost every gesture made by the two cricketers to that incident and even their social media posts are being analysed thoroughly. In a video that has been widely shared on social media, the crowd at Eden Gardens during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match between LSG and Kolkata Knight Riders could be heard chanting 'Kohli, Kohli' at Naveen when he was bowling.
