Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], May 21 : Kolkata Knight Riders' sensational talent Rinku Singh said that he is not thinking too much about the selection in the Indian cricket team, and is just focusing on following his routine of practising and gyming.Rinku played an outstanding unbeaten knock of 67* of 33 balls which almost provided a win to KKR against Lucknow Super Giants. LSG won the thriller by one run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Eden Gardens on Saturday.In the media interaction, Rinku said that he is not thinking about the Indian team selection, however, he is satisfied with the way this season turned out for him."It feels good to have a season like this. I'm not thinking too much about the Indian team selection. Now when I head home, I will go back to my routine practice, the gym. I will just keep doing my work," said Rinku.The KKR batter became an overnight sensation in the match against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023 when he struck five consecutive sixes to guide KKR's remarkable win in the last ball."My family is very happy. People used to know me before. The last few knocks I played, people started to know about me. But ever since I hit those five sixes in the game against GT, I've started to get a lot more respect and many more have started to recognize me. So it feels good," Rinku added.Rinku indeed had a season to remember this year and established himself as a finisher to be feared. In 14 matches, he scored 474 runs at an average of 59.25 and a strike rate of 149.52.
