In the live announcement of India’s T20 World Cup squad, former India captain and chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth expressed his strong support for the inclusion of Rinku Singh in the 15-member squad. Rinku gained attention for his left-handed power-hitting abilities, particularly after hitting five consecutive sixes for the Kolkata Knight Riders during IPL 2023.
What stood out about Rinku’s performance in his debut T20I season was his ability to remain unbeaten in seven innings, showcasing both power-hitting skills and composure under pressure. With an impressive strike rate of 176.23, Rinku established himself as a dynamic asset for the Indian cricket team. His consistent performance in finishing matches with aggressive batting earned him a spot in the India T20I team.
With his remarkable performance and potential to contribute significantly to the team’s success, it seems almost certain that Rinku will be included in the T20 World Cup squad.
