Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head coach Andy Flower praised Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh for his stupendous knock in a losing cause. The Zimbabwe legend went on to describe the cricketer as someone hungry for success and humble at the same time.<\/p>\n

Rinku, who has been exceptional with his death hitting in IPL 2023, gave LSG a real scare in the match on Saturday, May 20. Chasing 177, KKR were in big trouble at 120\/5. However, Rinku clobbered 67* in 33 balls to lift his team. Eventually, Kolkata went down by only one run.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a post-match press conference, Flower<\/a> hailed the aggressive left-handed batter and commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe looks like a really talented guy, but he also looks like he is hungry for success and humble at the same time. He is confident in what he can do. He\u2019s got a really good package. There\u2019s so much batting talent in this country. But, he\u2019s showing that he can do it when he\u2019s under pressure and that\u2019s a key aspect to playing international cricket. He\u2019s got a future.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sharing his views on the KKR batter\u2019s stunning counter-attack on LSG<\/a> bowlers on Saturday, Flower admitted that the 25-year-old batted out of his skin. He said:<\/p>\n

“Rinku played out of his skin again to get them that close. And it was a matter of not making the obvious error in those last few overs. He batted beautifully, he batted brilliantly. We didn’t quite hit our straps at the end. But then Naveen [Ul-Haq] and Yash [Thakur] were doing quite a tough job bowling multiple overs in a row at the death. They came through in the end.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Praising Naveen and Thakur for their bowling efforts in IPL 2023, Flower added:<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth of them have been brilliant for us this season. Yash, as a young guy coming through in his first IPL season\u2026 I knew him when he was bowling in the nets at Punjab Kings. To see him do so well and so brilliantly under pressure, it\u2019s really wonderful. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Lot of respect for Rinku for the way that he played, but it was brilliant by our guys, including our captain, to get us through.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
