Rinku Singh was part of KKR in IPL 2025
Meanwhile, Rinku Singh was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the recently concluded IPL season. He had a decent campaign, scoring 206 runs at an average of 29.43 and a strike rate of 153.43 in 13 matches. However, Kolkata Knight Riders were knocked out of the IPL 2025.
The defending champions finished the tournament in the 8th spot in the league with five wins, seven losses, and two no results and failed to qualify for the playoffs, ending their hopes of retaining their crown, which they won last year under Shreyas Iyer’s leadership.
Rinku Singh is not part of India A nor the India squad for the England Test series. He is expected to return to international duties when Team India tours Bangladesh for the three-match T20I series in August. He might be picked for the ODI series as well, given his consistent performances in the shorter format over the past year.
