Ravi Shastri Selects Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rinku Singh as Standout Players in IPL 2023

Rajasthan Royals’ opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Kolkata Knight Riders’ batter Rinku Singh have performed exceedingly well in the ongoing IPL 2023. Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri has picked Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rinku Singh as the standout players of IPL 2023.

Ravi Shastri believes that the duo of Jaiswal and Rinku can get an instant chance into the Indian Team thanks to their hunger, passion, and desire. He also felt that the pair could also become a part of the Indian squad for the marquee 2023 ICC ODI World Cup which is scheduled in the months of October-November.

“One is (Yashasvi) Jaiswal, simply because of the way he’s played this season. And for me it is a marked improvement from what I saw from him last year, which is a very, very positive sign. Just the pockets he’s hitting around the ground as opposed to last year is very good,” Ravi Shastri said on the latest episode of ICC Review.

Rinku Singh has got a fabulous temperament: Ravi Shastri

“The other bloke is Rinku Singh, which is a great story. The more I see of him, that guy has got a fabulous temperament. He’s tough as nails. Both these guys have come through very hard backgrounds. They’ve worked very hard initially in their lives and nothing has come easy for them,” the former Indian coach discussed about Rinku Singh.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 575 runs at an average of 47.92 and a strike rate of 166.18 in IPL 2023. He smashed a brilliant 98 against the Kolkata Knight Riders and a ton in the game against Mumbai Indians on April 30.

On the other hand, Rinku Singh has amassed 407 runs at an average of 50.88 and a strike rate of 143.31. More importantly, he has played some brilliant knocks under immense pressure including his knock against the Gujarat Titans in which he scored 5 consecutive sixes against Yash Dayal.

Getting a tag of standout players of IPL 2023 from Ravi Shastri will certainly boost the confidence of the two young batters. Cricket fans will expect that the two young batters will play well in the last league game of the tournament for their respective sides.
