Former Indian cricketer, Abhishek Nayar has said that Rinku Singh is the perfect candidate to be the finisher for the Indian team in the T20 format. Nayar, who worked with Rinku at Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), said that the 25-year-old has all the skills and temperament to be a successful finisher.

“I think he is, you know, with Hardik Pandya now transforming into a proper batter who bats up the order, and when he comes back and he is leading the side, you know you want someone who’s going to play that role,” Abhishek Nayar said.

He added, “You know, we saw that in the West Indies as well, where literally have someone come in and play shots from the get-go. You had Axar Patel, who tried to play that role. But I feel Rinku is tailor-made. If you look at his numbers and you look at his stats around all three formats in domestic cricket, he’s been someone who’s been a prolific run-getter. I think IPL being the last stage where you had to kind of prove and perform, which he has done as well.”
