“Moeen bhai se seekh rahe” - Rinku Singh bowls in the nets ahead of KKR vs RCB IPL 2025 match [Watch]

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh was spotted bowling off-spin in the nets ahead of the IPL 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The two teams will square off in the curtain raiser of the new season at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata tonight (March 22).

The defending champions have a new captain for IPL 2025 as they released Shreyas Iyer after a successful campaign last year. The Knight Riders management recently appointed experienced Ajinkya Rahane as their skipper for this season, with Venkatesh Iyer serving as his deputy.

Rinku Singh was the franchise's top retained player, receiving a paycheck of ₹13 crore. KKR posted a video on their official X handle on Saturday to give their fans a glimpse of an interesting moment from a practice session.

In the clip, Rinku Singh could be seen turning his arm over to bowl a few offs-spinners in the presence of his teammate Moeen Ali. When asked about his bowling, Rinku said:

“Moeen bhai se seekh rahe (Learning from brother Moeen)."
