The batter from Uttar Pradesh has been a huge indomitable force in the middle-overs for the Kolkata team. In the entire IPL 2023, Rinku has scored the maximum number of runs in the middle-overs and is a vital cog for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Singh is the 2nd highest run-getter for KKR in this season and has mustered 251 runs at a phenomenal average of 62.75. He most certainly can be a good vice-captain choice.
