Virat Kohli had earlier praised Rinku Singh after his knock against the Gujarat Titans. Rinku Singh had smashed five sixes in a row against Yash Dayal in the final over of KKR’s innings and helped his side chase down the mammoth target of 205 runs against the defending champions.
“What the youngsters are doing today is amazing to see. Look at this IPL, I couldn’t even think of doing stuff what these young guys are doing. Just the other night, Rinku Singh hits 5 Sixes in last 5 balls which is amazing & never happened something like that,” Virat said after the KKR vs GT clash.
“Coming in an hitting five sixes in a row to win a match, I mean what level is this? So that transition is happening is great. It is great to see such youngsters coming up,” the star RCB batter further added.
