Rinku Singh lived up to the reputation that had preceded him to the middle as he smashed hat-trick of sixes in the Super Over to help his team Meerut Maverick register a win over Kashi Rudras in the ongoing Uttar Pradesh T20 league.

Rinku Singh has potential to become great finisher like MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh: Kiran More

Former 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. “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,” Kiran More said in a conversation with Jio Cinema. “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,” he added.

Not thinking about India call-up, says Rinku Singh
