A total of three teams have qualified for the IPL 2023 playoffs. After the match played between Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants qualified for the playoffs as the third team. After the defeat in this match, KKR’s journey in IPL 2023 is over. But his team has got a good news before the playoffs. You must be thinking that how can there be good news for a team that is out of the playoff race. So let us tell you what has benefited the KKR team.
KKR benefited
Actually an exciting match was played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants. Where KKR’s team had to face defeat by one run. In this match also it seemed that KKR would win, but it could not happen. Team’s star player Rinku Singh remained at the crease till the end. He played a brilliant inning in this match as well, but could not win the match for the team. Rinku played many brilliant innings this year. In this match too, he scored 67 runs in 33 balls with 6 fours and 4 sixes.
Rinku proved to be the X factor for the KKR team this year. It is a pleasure for KKR to have a player like Rinku Singh. The KKR team would like to keep him in their squad next year as well. It is good news for KKR that their team has found a player who can play for their team for a long time. In this year’s IPL, Rinku Singh was the only player who scored runs for KKR team continuously. He scored 474 runs in 14 matches this season at an average of 59.25 and a strike rate of 149.53.
Can be included in the auction
Rinku Singh, who plays for Kolkata Knight Riders, can include himself in next year’s auction. KKR included him in their squad in the year 2018 for Rs 80 lakh. He was retained by the KKR team till the year 2021. But he was released before the mega auction to be held in 2022. Again KKR included in their squad in the mega auction, but this time for only Rs 55 lakhs. Then he is playing IPL with this fee. Next year it is believed that he can come in the auction, where other teams can claim crores on him.
