“He can attack when he needs to do that towards the back end of an innings,” Kallis emphasized, highlighting Singh’s ability to make impactful contributions.
Kallis praised Singh’s maturity, stating, “So you know the ideal batter to be batting at number six. Along with the rest, the team, that’s a formidable finishing to an innings.”
He expressed the significance of Singh’s role in the team, saying, “In case one doesn’t come off, you know, you’ve got a few others that can step up and do it. So for me, Rinku should be the number six and given a proper opportunity.”
