KKR fans have plenty to look forward to as two of their key players, Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh, have been in explosive form in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024.
Both players, retained by KKR ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, have proven to be crucial for the team’s future. Rinku Singh was retained for INR 13 crore, while Ramandeep Singh, an uncapped player at the time, was retained for INR 4 crore.
Rinku Singh, representing Uttar Pradesh, made a stunning impact with a blistering cameo of 26 runs off just 9 balls against Arunachal Pradesh. His knock included 3 sixes and 1 four, coming at an incredible strike rate of 288.88.
Rinku’s fiery innings helped Uttar Pradesh post a formidable total of 242/4 in their 20 overs. In response, Arunachal Pradesh could only manage 86/5, and Uttar Pradesh won the match by a massive 156 runs.
On the other hand, KKR’s Ramandeep Singh, playing for Punjab, also made his mark with a lightning-fast 39 runs off just 11 balls against Hyderabad. His knock featured 5 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 354.55, helping Punjab reach a challenging total of 196/6.
Despite Hyderabad’s best efforts, they were bowled out for 189, and Punjab secured a narrow 7-run victory.
Both Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh are in superb form, and their performances in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy suggest they will be key contributors for KKR in the upcoming IPL season. With such explosive middle-order options, KKR are set to have one of the most formidable batting line-ups in the league.
