Ex-Indian wicket-keeper Kiran More believes Rinku Singh has the potential to became a great finisher like MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh, if given a longer rope and groomed well by the Indian team management.

In a conversation with Jio Cinema, Kiran More said –
“I have been waiting for his opportunity in the Indian team. And that batting position, of No.5 and 6, he will perform well in that spot and can end up being a brilliant finisher. We all have seen MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh. After that we haven’t got a player like them.”
Rinku Singh was the highest run-getter for a batter at No.5 and 6 in IPL 2023, scoring 416 runs in 13 innings at 145.45, laced wit three fifties.
Among 12 batters who faced at least 75 deliveries in the death overs, Rinku’s strike rate of 186.67 only stood marginally behind top-ranked Heinrich Klaasen (187.36) and was the best ever by an Indian batter.
Kiran added –
“We tried making such players, but it didn’t work so far. Tilak Varma is also there, he too can perform that role. Rinku is also a brilliant fielder. And I have seen him in domestic cricket as well, he has improved a lot I feel.”
