KKR will invest in Rinku Singh in next few years, says Brendon McCullum

Navi Mumbai
Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Brendon McCullum on Thursday said that the batter Rinku Singh’s story has been incredible and he is a player in whom the franchise will invest in over the next few years.
Quinton De Kock’s hard-hitting 140* and spells from Mohsin Khan (3/20) and Marcus Stoinis (3/23) helped LSG seal a thrilling 2-run win over KKR and become the second team to enter the playoffs.
Rinku’s is an incredible story. He has been around for five years in IPL, sat on the sidelines for so long and worked so hard, he has had to wait for his opportunity, he got it late in the tournament and he has taken it. He plays the game for all the right reasons that I love as a coach and as a fan of cricket as well. Rinku is a player who KKR will invest in, no doubt, over the next few years and we will see him progressing and challenging for the top honours. Not too many people can bat like Rinku did and be able to pull games out of the fire. He has almost done for us two occassions. I am really pleased for him, said McCullum during a post-match conference.
Rinku has had a solid IPL season with KKR. In seven innings, he has scored 174 runs at an average of 34.80. His best individual score has been 42* this season. He has won over fans with his solid batting and electric presence on the field.
