"I Enjoy Fielding More Than Batting": KKR Star Rinku Singh After Heroic Last Ball Run Out vs RR

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh highlighted the importance of saving a boundary on a fast outfield. He emphasized his fielding role, expressing enjoyment and a preference for it over batting. He acknowledged Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Andre Russell's crucial runs and the perfect situation he faced in the final overs. "It was important to save that (18.2) boundary. This is one of the quickest outfields in India. It is my role to do well in the outfield, I like to take the responsibility. I enjoy my fielding, probably more than my batting. Russell scored some crucial runs, but he hasn't been among the runs this season. I had to play in the last 2 overs, it was the perfect situation for me, the stage was set. Our team is playing well, we need to keep enjoying going forward. We are taking one game at a time, not thinking too much of the future," Rinku Singh said in the post-match presentation.
