Rinku Singh has been a valuable asset to IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). His stakes in the cricketing world witnessed a massive rise after his five sixes onslaught against Yash Dayal, leading KKR to a memorable win.

Rinku has since gone to represent India in both white-ball formats and has two ODI and thirty-three T20I caps under his name. While Rinku has been comparatively quiet in the 50-over format, he has done a decent job in the shorter format considering his role in the team.
