Opting to bat, KKR were bowled out for 180 in 20 overs, with Rinku scoring one off two balls. In response, GT captain Shubman Gill top-scored with 86 off 50 and won by five wickets with two balls to spare as well.<\/p>\n<p>During a discussion on his YouTube channel after the competition, Jaffer said, \u201cRinku Singh has been disappointing, in my view. He&#8217;s a current India player, a World Cup winner, and his role becomes very necessary in the center order at number 5 &#8211; 6. But I don\u2019t know, this has been a really subdued season for him. He also had a component to play. If KKR desires to perform well, he also has to take responsibility. He&#8217;s a vital player; you can not ignore him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t understand what is occurring in Rinku Singh\u2019s mind. How are you going to get out playing such a giant shot on just the second ball? After that, Ramandeep also played one or two good shots after which got out.  you don\u2019t have that type of strength in your lower order, they won\u2019t find a way to take you thru. So I didn\u2019t really understand the logic,\u201d he again stated.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Wasim Jaffer applauds Cameron Green\u2019s return to form<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Throughout the same discussion, Wasim Jaffer also shared that Cameron Green\u2019s return to form was the one positive for KKR in the sport as he scored 79 off 55 balls, including seven fours and 4 sixes as well. Nonetheless, he slammed Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh for poor game awareness as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne positive was that Cameron Green looked in superb form. In order that\u2019s one good thing. But you recognize, the way in which Rinku Singh got out and the way in which Ramandeep got out, you&#8217;ll be able to see Cameron Green is batting so well at the opposite end and there are still five overs left,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Get the most recent\u00a0cricket news\u00a0here, like us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/cricfitupdate?wtsid=rdr_0r9TyTtGMzhJUSzAh\">Facebook<\/a>, and follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CricFit\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/cricfit?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">Instagram\u00a0<\/a>for more such updates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rinku Singh Former India batter Wasim Jaffer has slammed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh following his poor show of their IPL 2026 clash against the Gujarat Titans (GT) on Friday, April 17, in Ahmedabad.
