Former England batsman Michael Waugh has presented his side regarding the Kolkata Knight Riders player. According to Michael Waugh, Rinku Singh got opportunities but mostly he could not use them. Michael Waugh told Cricbuzz, ‘He had chances and in some matches he batted quickly but in all these he failed to show good performance. Rinku Singh is one of the explosive batsmen but his confidence is very low at the moment. It is very important for you to score runs in every match but this is not happening with Rinku Singh. I have seen him perform brilliantly over the last few years: Michael Waugh Michael Waugh further said, ‘We talk about playing big shots outside the ground continuously and in the process players get out. You are successful only when your mindset is completely aggressive. He is a much better player. I have seen him in the last few years and Rinku has only batted aggressively. He has an average of 80 for India and has mostly been seen not out. The young batsman has quality and I am sure he will make a strong comeback. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
