Legendary SA cricketer applauds Rinku Singh

As team India begins their all-format series against South Africa, legendary South African cricketer Jacques Kallis applauds Rinku Singh via Star Sports. He also opened up on which position would be a suitable one for the star-Indian batter.

Kallis applauded Rinku Singh as a 'class act' for Team India and acknowledged his extraordinary skills while on the pitch.

He's a class act. You know, as we've seen over the last few months, what he's done for India. Finishing games. It's not just silly cricket. It's a real good cricketing shots when it needs to be. He can attack when he needs to do that towards the back end of an innings.
