The three-match T20 series between India and South Africa was scheduled to begin on Sunday. However, the first match of the series was washed out due to rain and could not even be tossed. Meanwhile, Sunil Gavaskar, the former captain associated with the live presentation of this match, praised Rinku Singh. Gavaskar said that the biggest strength of this batsman is that he has a lot of confidence in himself.
He said, ‘Talent – not everyone gets it. You may like sports. You can play all day. But sometimes you realize that you don’t have that talent. But he is confident that he can do it and that is what he has done in the last 2-3 years. This has been done in IPL as well. He was in and out of various teams in the IPL as well but when he finally got his chance and the way he grabbed it was amazing.
Gavaskar said, ‘Indian fans have now started comparing Rinku’s abilities with Yuvraj Singh, who has been a legend of Indian cricket. People want him to play cricket like Yuvraj Singh.
The 74-year-old said, ‘Now he is a part of the cricket team and there are a lot of expectations from him. People are now expecting him to become the new Yuvraj Singh.
