Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) assistant coach Shane Watson believes that vice-captain Rinku Singh’s return to form has come as a major boost for the team, with the middle-order batter delivering a match-winning 83 off 53 balls in the previous game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to guide his side to victory.Watson praised Rinku’s innings, calling it ‘brilliant to watch,’ while underlining the importance of building support around him in the batting unit ahead of their clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
“We’ve played nicely in the last couple of games. Our bowling has been very good in the last couple of games. Our batting, there’s been some very good things. Rinku Singh’s coming to form has been brilliant to watch. We just need a couple of other guys to put their hands up today,” Watson told broadcasters ahead of the match against SRH.
The former Australia all-rounder also sounded optimistic about the playing conditions, hinting at a batting-friendly surface.
Speaking of the match, SRH have won the toss and opted to bat first. KKR have made two changes to their team with Finn Allen and Manish Pandey coming in place of Tim Seifert and Ramandeep Singh.
