Rinku Singh To Be Ruled Out Of IPL 2025? Fresh Injury Weakens His Future

Rinku Singh, suffering a potential serious injury, has marred Kolkata Knight Riders' thrilling win over Rajasthan Royals in their recent IPL 2025 game in Kolkata. Rinku Singh was instrumental in the defending champs' exciting one-run victory over the Royals, which kept their hopes of making the playoffs alive.

He initially made a significant impact at bat, helping the Kolkata Knight Riders reach 22 runs from the last over with 19 runs off just 6 balls. In the end, the cameo was crucial as the defending champs prevailed by a single run.

He made a game-winning stop close to the boundary later in the match's last over. He dived full length at deep cover to save two valuable runs for his team on the opening ball of the over, preventing a certain four.

Immediately following that attempt, he was observed gripping the area close to his right groin while hobbling.

Rinku was in full flow vs RR

Rinku Singh once again had a significant impact on the game with a superb one-bounce throw on the last ball of the over, which allowed Vaibhav Arora to run out Jofra Archer and give his team the victory.

Additionally, Rinku might have suffered an injury while playing, despite the fact that he was a star on the field, to help his team stay in the tournament.

KKR will be hoping that the injury is not serious and their star man remains available for the remaining games.

I like fielding more than batting: Rinku Singh

Rinku Singh talked about his endeavor to preserve his team's two-run lead at the end of the game. Along with saying that he prefers fielding to batting, he also mentioned how much he enjoys fielding.

"[The save on 19.1] was very important because everyone in India knows that the outfield here is very fast. So you have to react accordingly. Once the field restrictions are lifted after the power play, I field outside the 30-yard circle. I enjoy my fielding a lot. And to be honest, I like fielding more than batting," Rinku said after the match.

With 11 points from 11 games, the Kolkata Knight Riders are presently ranked sixth in the standings. The Chennai Super Kings, who have already been eliminated from the tournament, will be their next opponent. Kolkata will be hoping to defeat Chennai again, since they have already done so this season.
