Team India's performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 was excellent and managed to win the title. However, when the team was announced for the tournament, many questions arose as Rinku Singh was not included despite good performance. Rinku's name was in the list of reserve players, which was criticized by the selection committee and then captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid. However, now Rinku has broken his silence on not being selected and revealed what Rohit had told him.
Rinku Singh has made his place in the Indian team on the basis of his explosive performance in the IPL and he has performed very well in whatever opportunities he has got. He scored 356 runs in 11 innings before the T20 World Cup at an average of 89 and a strike rate of 176.24 and proved himself as a finisher. However, Shivam Dubey was preferred over him and Rinku was dropped from the main team.
What did Rohit Sharma say to Rinku Singh?
Rinku also looked very disappointed due to not getting a place in Team India's team. Rinku said in an interview, “Rohit Sharma came to tell me what is your age. There are many World Cups ahead. Keep working hard. The World Cup comes every two years, so keep working hard and focus on it. Don't be disappointed. There is no need.”
Rinku showed his strength against Sri Lanka
Although Rinku Singh did not get a place in the T20 World Cup 2024 team, he was included in the T20 series played in Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka after that. He also showed talent in bowling in Sri Lanka. In the third and last match of the T20 series, Rinku bowled the 19th over of the innings and played an important role in tying the match. Currently, Rinku is participating in the UP T20 League and is also the captain.
