"I Did Not Play Very Well": KKR Batter On Not Getting India Call-Up Post Debut

Kolkata Knight Riders batter Nitish Rana made his India debut in July last year during the tour of Sri Lanka. In his only ODI innings, the southpaw scored 7 runs while in two T20I innings he scored 15 runs overall. Such a start in international cricket failed to earn Rana a second national call-up but the player is optimistic about his return to the national side. Admitting that he could have done better in his first chance, Rana said that he will improve his performance to earn an entry into the national team.

"A lot of things depend on factors like opponent team and what total we are chasing and what number I am batting.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh starred in the chase against Rajasthan Royals in an IPL 2022 clash on Monday, his unbeaten knock helping his team emerge victorious.

Speaking to Rana after their seven-wicket win, Rinku told the left-hander that he had written he was going to score a fifty and predicted that he would bag the player of the match award. Although, the victory was achieved before either of Rana or Rinku could get to their fifties, but both remained unbeaten and amazingly Rinku also received the player of the match.
