IPL 2025: Rinku Singh rose to prominence during the 2023 Indian Premier League season, becoming a household name with his extraordinary performances for the Kolkata Knight Riders. The left-handed batsman emerged as the top run-scorer for the side in the season, with one of his major highlights being a stunning display against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, where he smashed five consecutive sixes to clinch an improbable victory.
Earlier, Rinku Singh expressed his desire to join Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the upcoming IPL 2025 if he is not retained by KKR. On that note, let us check out 3 teams that might target Rinku Singh if KKR don’t retain the Southpaw.
Teams that might target Rinku Singh for IPL 2025
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)
In the IPL, Rinku Singh has expressed a desire to join Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru, indicating his admiration for the team and a potential future in the cash-rich league. “RCB, because Virat Kohli is there,” Rinku told Sports Tak. Rinku Singh shares a close bond with Virat Kohli, and during the last season, he requested another bat from Kohli, explaining that the one he had previously received had broken.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)
Due his connection with Uttar Pradesh, the UP-based franchise, LSG might also target Rinku Singh in mega auction if he is released by KKR. Rinku will provide LSG a much-needed boost in the middle-order and can play as a finisher for the Super Giants.
Gujarat Titans (GT)
Just like LSG, GT also lack firepower in their lower-order. Apart from David Miller and Rahul Tewatia, GT have failed to find a good finisher for their side. Rinku Singh might be the perfect candidate for resolving Gujarat’s power-hitting woes. However, all of it will depend if KKR decides to let go Rinku from their squad.
