"He knows how to take those chances"- Irfan Pathan on Rinku Singh ahead of India versus South Africa series
Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan recently opined that Rinku Singh is ready for the big stage and expressed confidence in his ability to adapt to different conditions. During a discussion on the Star Sports show 'Game Plan', Pathan said:
"I think he will enjoy the bounce and pace of the ball because he is the kind of cricketer who likes to face fast bowling. I really think he is a guy who is ready. Especially being a left-hander and especially being a free-flowing player will help."
Irfan Pathan added:
"He is extremely impressive. When a guy has done the hard yards in domestic cricket and waited for his chance to come good in the IPL, that means he has got a lot of experience. He knows how to take those chances, that will come his way, with both hands."
Do you feel Rinku Singh should be given longer rope in both ODI and T20I formats going forward? Let us know in the comments section.
