KKR batting star Rinku Singh was seen having a fun conversation with India and DC wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant after Kolkata\u2019s win in the final of the Indian Premier League 2024. Notably, KKR beat SRH by eight wickets on Sunday, May 27 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai to clinch their third IPL title.<\/p>\n
Following his team\u2019s victory Rinku was seen in a jolly good mood as the cameras captured his unfiltered personality in the after match festivities of KKR<\/a><\/strong>.

Further ahead in the video, Rinku can be heard saying that he will be coming on the 28th as he ecstatically celebrates his team\u2019s win.<\/p>\n Notably, the southpaw is the part of the reserve players in India\u2019s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024<\/a><\/strong> and hence will be flying to the USA to link up with the squad ahead of the tournament. Rinku was expected to be in the main 15-member squad of the team, however, he was surprisingly left out of the team with the selectors preferring Shivam Dube over him. <\/p>\n In the 15 T20Is played in his career so far, the 26-year-old has scored 356 runs from 11 innings at an average of 89 and a strike rate of 176.23 with two fifties. The southpaw has grabbed every opportunity with both hands ever since his India debut in August 2023 following a breakthrough season in the IPL 2023 where he rose to fame after smashing Yash Dayal for five consecutive sixes<\/a><\/strong> to win the match for KKR.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, coming back to KKR vs SRH final, after opting to bat first SRH were bundled out for 113 in just 18.3 overs with Andre Russell (3\/19), Mitchell Starc (2\/14) and Harshit Rana (2\/24) running through their batting. In reply, KKR chased down the target in 10.3 overs with Venkatesh Iyer scoring an unbeaten half-century (52* off 26). As a result, KKR clinched their third IPL title having previously won the title in 2012 and 2014.<\/p>\nRinku Singh averages 176.33 in T20Is<\/h3>\n
