The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has recently unveiled the India T20 World Cup 2024 Squad, which has caused quite a stir among netizens. One of the major controversies surrounding this squad is the exclusion of Rinku Singh, who many believe deserved a spot in the team.
Rinku Singh, who plays for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), has been widely praised for his impressive average of 89 and strike rate of 180 in T20Is. Despite this, he was not selected for the final 15-member squad, sparking outrage among fans. Some have even demanded ‘justice’ for Singh, questioning the selection criteria used by the BCCI.
The exclusion of Rinku Singh from the squad has sparked widespread criticism among cricket fans. Many have highlighted his contributions to T20Is and emphasized that his current IPL performance should not be the sole basis for selection. Comparisons have been made with other players who were chosen over Singh, with fans expressing their disbelief and disappointment over the decision.
However, despite not making it to the final squad, Rinku Singh will still be part of the team as one of the reserves. He will be on standby in case of any changes or injuries to the main squad alongside other players like Shubman Gill and Khaleel Ahmed. While some may see this as a consolation prize, others view it as a missed opportunity for Singh to prove his worth on an international stage.
