The defending IPL champions released Shreyas Iyer, who led them to victory last season and have not yet announced a captain. Ajinkya Rahane is a top contender, with Venkatesh Iyer another option. Meanwhile, Rinku has been appointed as the captain of Uttar Pradesh for the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
"I am not thinking too much about the captaincy of KKR in the new IPL season. I am focused on my plans for Uttar Pradesh, as I want my team to regain the trophy we had won for the first time in 2015-16," Rinku stated.
Now I Am Focusing on My Bowling Too - Rinku Singh
Rinku Singh hinted at taking on a new role in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy. The 27-year-old cricketer said that he has been focusing on his bowling skills after experimenting with off-spin during the UPT20 League.
“I didn't even think of being part of team India when I struck five consecutive sixes in the IPL last year. That turned out to be the biggest game-changer in my life. Even now I feel that if God has decided something for me, I will get that surely. But at the same time, I also need to work hard on my job,” he added.
