Indian Premier league (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh put emphasis on saving a boundary on an outfield that acts quickly.

Rinku spoke about his fielding role and shared his preference of it over batting. In the team's 1-run victory over Rajasthan Royals on May 4th, Rinku Singh was the one who made the last-ball run-out possible.

Rinku Singh spoke about the match was on one of the quickest outfield in India and shared that his role is to play in that very outfield while taking responsibility of saving crucial runs. Rinku even expressed how KKR allrounder Andre Russell scored crucial runs at the crucial moment.

'It was important to save that (18.2) boundary. This is one of the quickest outfields in India. It is my role to do well in the outfield, I like to take the responsibility. I enjoy my fielding, probably more than my batting. Russell scored some crucial runs, but he hasn't been among the runs this season. I had to play in the last 2 overs, it was the perfect situation for me, the stage was set. Our team is playing well, we need to keep enjoying going forward.

Rinku Singh had a valuable outing for his team, as he scored 19 runs off six balls. This had pushed KKR to a score of over 200. He saved a couple important boundaries when the team was fielding, which helped the team securing the match.
