Rinku Singh opens up on following MS Dhoni's advice in cricket

Rinku Singh's glory in cricket has made people think of him as a Dhoni 2.0, who could change the game from either his batting or behind the wickets. The KKR batsman acknowledged that he has been honing his skills from the advice of the legendary batsman.

'I asked Mahi bhai once what he thinks when batting in the last few overs. He said the more you stay calm, the more you try to hit straight, the better it will be. So I follow that now. I try to stay calm, try not to show any reaction, and that has helped me,' Rinku Singh mentioned via the BCCI website after the first T20I match.
