India's young batter Rinku Singh wants to join Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) if Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) release him during the mega auction of the Indian Premier League (IPL) which will take place later this year. Rinku made his IPL debut in 2018 from KKR and got into the limelight after smashing five consecutive sixes against Gujarat Titans to win a nearly impossible clash of IPL 2023.
The hard-hitting batter made his international debut against Ireland in Dublin on August 18, 2023. He made his ODI debut in December 19, 2023, against South Africa. In the exclusive conversation with Sports Tak, Rinku Singh said that he would join RCB if KKR released him before the auction.
“RCB, because Virat Kohli is there” said Rinku.
While asked about Suryakumar Yadav's captaincy, he responded that he is a very calm captain.
“He is a very good captain. I have played under Rohit Bhai. He is very calm and doesn't talk much. He is a very good captain” added Rinku.
