India’s T20 World Cup squad has been announced, and Rinku Singh has been included in the 15-member squad. Krishnamachari Srikkanth, former India captain and chief selector, expressed strong support for Rinku’s inclusion.
Rinku gained attention for his left-handed power-hitting abilities, particularly after hitting five consecutive sixes for the Kolkata Knight Riders during IPL 2023. His consistent performance in finishing matches with aggressive batting earned him a spot in the India T20I team.
In his debut T20I season, Rinku made a significant impact by scoring 356 runs in just 15 matches. What stood out 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.
Krishnamachari Srikkanth praised Rinku’s performance and potential to contribute significantly to the team’s success. “Rinku is a talented young player who has shown great potential in international cricket,” said Srikkanth. “His inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad is a great opportunity for him to showcase his skills on the world stage.”
