I am quite used to playing at No.5 and No.6: Rinku Singh
Rinku also talked about batting in the middle order and said that he is used to playing at the no. 5 or 6 position. Rinku said that he trains himself keeping in mind what position he is going to play.
“I am quite used to playing at No.5 and No.6 and have been playing at this position for a long time now. Ever since I have been playing for Uttar Pradesh, I have been playing at that number. Phase matches mai batting aati hai, to idea ho gaya hai kaise khelte hai. I train keeping my position in mind. When I practice at KKR academy under Abhishek Nayar sir, I keep that in mind and he helps me a lot with my batting. He helps me work on my breathing and how to keep focus in tough situations.”
