He is a left-handed Dhoni.” Rinku made headlines with her explosive innings against Gujarat Titans (GT) last season. He hit five sixes in five consecutive balls in one over of Yash Dayal and successfully chased 28 runs in the last over and gave his team a historic victory. Ashwin also said that the return of captain Shreyas Iyer will give a lot of confidence to the Kolkata-based franchise. He told how these batsmen can dominate the spinners in Eden Garden.

As a captain, he is coming back to the team.”
