Rinku Singh has made a remarkable comeback for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2026, scoring 207 runs in his last four innings without being dismissed. His latest performance included an unbeaten 29-ball 49 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, helping KKR post a competitive total of 192. Team coach, Abhishek Nayar, highlighted the importance of centre-wicket practice and a new trigger movement in Rinku's batting technique, which has contributed to his improved form. KKR, currently eighth in the standings with nine points from 11 matches, must win their next three games to keep their playoff hopes alive. Nayar emphasized the need for a supportive team environment, acknowledging the emotional toll of poor performance on players. He noted that consistency in processes and backing players, like Rovman Powell, has been crucial during challenging times. Despite recent setbacks, KKR's commitment to their methods has led to a resurgence, and they are eager to leverage home advantage in upcoming matches.
