IPL 2026: Centre‑wicket Practice, New Trigger Movement Helped Rinku Regain Form, Reveals Nayar
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) head coach Abhishek Nayar has credited extensive centre‑wicket practice sessions and a technical tweak in Rinku Singh’s trigger movement for the left‑hander’s resurgence in IPL 2026 after a lean start to the season.
Rinku has struck 207 runs in his last four outings without being dismissed, batting at a strike rate of 172. On Wednesday, he made an unbeaten 29‑ball 49 to lift KKR to 192/4 in Raipur, though it went in vain as RCB won by six wickets, thanks to Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 105.
“One of the things we tried when we were not doing so well was a lot of centre‑wicket practice to bring the confidence back. Same with Varun (Chakravarthy), same with Rinku, because they were two really important players for us and didn’t start the tournament well. So obviously, there are different processes for both of them, but for Rinku, it was getting him in the centre.”
