IPL is known to unearth new talents every season.
6. Rinku Singh (KKR)
Rinku Singh has been part of the KKR setup for over four years now. He got limited opportunities before this season despite stellar performances in domestic cricket for Uttar Pradesh. Known for his hitting ability and all-round strokeplay, Rinku is also a very good fielder. He finally got his chance in IPL 2022 for the franchise.
Rinku was once again overlooked in the initial part of KKR’s campaign. He finally got his chance when Kolkata was on the brink of elimination. In his first game, Rinku scored 35 off 28 balls against GT which they lost towards the end. He provided the finishing touches to their innings against DC and MI and won them the game against RR. scoring an unbeaten 42 off just 23 balls.
His heroic moment came in KKR’s last game against LSG. Chasing a mammoth score of 210, KKR were dead and buried when they lost Shreyas Iyer and Andre Russell. What followed was not just a display of power, but also all-round strokeplay, as Rinku scored 40 off just 15 balls. hitting four massive sixes. He almost took them to the finish line but was unfortunate to end up on the losing side.
