“Oo heroo” – Shubman Gill's sister Shahneel reacts to Rinku Singh’s exotic pictures from Maldives after IPL 2023 success
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) fame Rinku Singh is seemingly enjoying his trip to the Maldives after a successful Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The batting prodigy is making the most of his time off the field, spending time in the Island country.
The 25-year-old recently set the Internet on fire by flaunting his abs and tattoo while enjoying the azure blue waters of Maldives. He chose to wear colorful shorts with a silver chain on his right arm.
Taking to Instagram, Rinku dropped a series of pictures with a picturesque location in the backdrop on Sunday, June 4. He captioned the post:
“Caution: Addictive content ahead.”
What has now caught the attention of the fans is Shubman Gill’s sister Shahneel Gill’s reply to the post. Shahneel responded:
“Oo heroo.”
Shahneel was recently in the limelight for the wrong reasons; she was unnecessarily targeted and abused online by insensitive fans. This came after Shubman Gill’s century helped Gujarat Titans (GT) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their last group-stage game and eliminated them from the IPL 2023 playoffs.
Rinku Singh was the highest run-scorer for KKR in IPL 2023
On the professional front, Rinku Singh finished as the highest run-scorer for KKR in IPL 2023. The left-handed batter amassed 474 runs in 14 games at a strike rate of 149.52, including four half-centuries.
KKR had retained Rinku for Rs. 55 lakh, after he had put up 174 runs in seven games during the IPL 2022 campaign. The Uttar Pradesh batter is likely to attract a big deal ahead of IPL 2024. Rinku Singh will also be keen for a callup to Team India in the T20 format.
Most runs batting at No.5 and lower in an IPL season:
474 - RINKU, 2023 (Ave 59.25, SR 149.52)
472 - D Karthik, 2018 (47.20 & 149.84)
436 - Miller, 2022 (87.49 & 146.64)
419 - Pollard, 2013 (46.55 & 150.71)
406 - Russell, 2019 (50.75 & 208.20)

It’s worth mentioning that Rinku smashed five consecutive sixes off GT pacer Yash Dayal in the early part of the 2023 season, when KKR required 28 runs off the last five balls. His heroics helped the Knight Riders win the game by three wickets.
Rinku continued to finish games for KKR with the bat as the tournament progressed.
