Here’s the full excerpt of what Nitish Rana had to say about Rinku Singh:

Credit goes to Rinku Singh. The two points we have from this game are thanks to him. People asked me why Rinku Singh doesn’t get a bigger role, and always plays a small role. I want to say to those reporters if this is the second role, imagine what he can do with the first role. Last match he played a different role, and he did it well. To be honest, if I was batting and needed 30 off one over, the thought of having the belief would be there, but in your heart you know what you’re capable of. I don’t have words for him.

Rinku Singh was always an underdog for KKR at the IPL. He proved his prowess when he hit 6, 6, 6, and 6 in the final over and that led KKR to win against GT.

Here’s what other cricketers had to say about Rinku Singh‘s performance.
