But, when asked about Rinku Singh’s effort, Virat was honest to admit that the youngsters in this IPL are a step ahead of him. While Virat was being too modest, he was absolutely spot on regarding the talent of the young sensations who have set the stage on fire in IPL 2023.
“What the youngsters are doing today is amazing to see,” exclaimed Virat Kohli to Robbin Uthappa on a Jio Cinema show. “Looking 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. Coming in and hitting five sixes in a row to win a match, I mean what level is this?”
The Delhi-born was clearly astonished by the achievement of Rinku Singh. The level of young Indian talent has certainly been top-notch in the sixteenth edition of the Indian Premier League. They are far more confident and prepared compared to the youngsters earlier.
Virat Kohli was also pleased to see the transition happening in the league. The performance of the new guns has left him awestruck, which is a huge compliment for them. Virat Kohli himself was a prodigy in the initial days of his career.
“So that transition is happening is great. It is great to see such youngsters coming up,” Virat concluded.
