R Ashwin has praised young Indian batsman Rinku Singh. Ever since Rinku joined Team India, he has won everyone's hearts. Rinku's ability to finish matches and innings makes her famous as a finisher. Star Indian spinner R Ashwin gave Rinku the finishing touches and described him as left-handed MS Dhoni. This means Ashwin catches a glimpse of Dhoni in Rinku Singh.
Taking to his YouTube channel, the Indian spinner said, “He is someone I would describe as a left-handed Dhoni. I can't compare him with Dhoni because he is much taller. But I'm talking about the patience he brings. It was him.” UP scores continuously and has found a way to get into Team India.
He further said, “Rikun has shown that he is always there to get Team India out of difficult situations and finish the innings. Patience changes nothing, whether the team bats first or chases. His patience at the end of the innings. That's a bonus.”
