Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star batsman Rinku Singh got his maiden call-up in the Indian team for the Asian Games which will take place in September-October later this year.
As per Rinku, the Indian Premier League (IPL) allowed him a platform to have fruitful exchanges with some of the brightest minds in world cricket. Revealing about his interaction with the former India captain, Rinku revealed a worldly piece of advice that Dhoni gave him following the exploits for KKR.
“The conversation with Mahi bhai (Dhoni) was really productive. He has also batted in similar numbers as I do – at five or six – and he has done it for the majority of his career. He knows the position in and out. I simply asked him how to better my game, and his advice was very simple: ‘Bohot sahi batting kar raha hai, jo tu kar raha hai, wahi karta reh’ (You are batting really well. Continue whatever you have done so far),” said Rinku.
It was speculated that Rinku would get a call-up for the T20I series against West Indies next month. However, BCCI handed the Uttar Pradesh batter his maiden call-up for the Asian Games.
