Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh might not be in red-hot form with the bat right now, but he sure knows how to grab the limelight. This time though, it isn’t his bat doing the talking, it’s his feet.

And no, we aren’t talking about footwork against spin. We’re talking full-blown Lionel Messi vibes during a KKR training session.

Rinku Singh Shows Off Ankara Messi Dribble

In a video shared by KKR’s official Twitter handle, Rinku Singh took everyone by surprise when he pulled off some slick football moves. Before pulling the rabbit out of the hat, he cheekily said, “Messi wala karta hu,” and he backed it up.

What followed was Rinku dribbling like peak Messi on an Ankara run. His teammates were left in splits and the vibe in the camp looked absolutely electric.




Not The Best Of Starts With The Bat

While Rinku has been lighting it up off the field, his on-field form hasn’t quite hit top gear this season. He managed just 12 runs in the opener against RCB. And if we look back at IPL 2024, it wasn’t his best either: 168 runs from 11 knocks at an average of just 18.66.

But KKR did not give up on their man. They showed full faith by retaining him for a massive INR 13 crore ahead of IPL 2025. Past performances, nerves of steel in chases and the ability to pull off miracles when the chips are down, that’s what Rinku brings to the table.

Hoping To Get Back Amongst Runs Vs Mumbai Indians

With one win and a loss in the bank, KKR now gear up to face Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, March 31. Rinku will be itching to get among the runs and remind everyone why he’s called the ‘finisher from Aligarh’.

The crowd at Wankhede will be roaring and if the match goes down to the wire, don’t be surprised if Rinku Messi trades his football dribble for a cricketing flourish.
