Lots of fans have also called this a life changing moment in Rinku's career. He has been in some good form this season. In their previous game against Royal Challengers Bangalore he played a magnificent inning of 46 runs to give KKR a chance to score a big total. Rinku Singh is one of the most underrated players in the Indian Domestic circuit, just like today he has played a crisis man role for Uttar Pradesh on many occasions.
