Having closely tracked the journey of a shy' young boy with low self confidence' evolve into a promising player for India, Abhishek Nayar describes Rinku Singh's story as one of hard work and perserverance.

Nayar backs KKR graduate Gill for World Cup, wants long rope for Rinku

Abhishek Nayar has seen both Shubman Gill and Rinku Singh from close quarters as the assistant coach at the Kolkata Knight Riders, and the former Mumbai stalwart has little doubt that the duo will be at the forefront of the team's journey through the transition. Gill has already given a glimpse of his immense potential at the international level, while Rinku will get his turn during India's tour to Ireland for three T20Is later this month. "I have absolutely no doubt about their tremendous potential. With the amount of competition in cricket these days, it is not easy to get opportunities and they need to maximise the chances that come their way. Yes, it's all about that mental push," Nayar told PTI here on Saturday. Gill has not fired in the desired manner during the on-going series against West Indies, often getting dismissed by the spinners.

"Humara kaam sirf run banana hai. Match milega toh accha karenge. Main zyada sochta nahin hoon. Present mein jeeta hoon. Uparwala baas dekhle. Apne haath mein toh sirf mehnaat hai. Mehnat karte rahenge, dekhte hai kya hota hai (My job is to score runs. If I get an opportunity, I would try to do well. "I don't over-think. I like to live in present. Hope Almighty keeps blessing me. Working hard is in my hands and I will do that and see what happens)," Rinku told PTI when asked about his reaction on entering the Indian team.

Crediting the "special IPL innings" for changing his life, Uttar Pradesh batter Rinku Singh said he was left emotional when he received his maiden India call up for the Asian Games.

He finished as the top run-getter for KKR with 474 runs at an average of 59.25 and 149-plus strike rate. However, the 25-year-old has made the cut for the Hangzhou Asian Games scheduled from September 23 to October 8. "When I saw my name I was very emotional, I have been working for this and now I have got it," Rinku Singh said in a video posted by BCCI. "Everyone at home wanted me to play for India and when I got selected everyone danced. Everyone was happy. I am excited to play for India, if given a chance I'd like to do well and our team will win and bring home the gold." Rinku made headlines after hitting fives sixes in a row against Gujarat
