Ajit Agarkar: Fans will once again have high hopes from the Indian team that they win the T20 World Cup 2024 title. However, this is not going to be easy. At present, the team led by Rohit Sharma is close to reaching the semi-finals. Their journey so far has not been very difficult. At the same time, as this tournament progresses, the challenges for this team will become more difficult.

For the limited overs World Cup, the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar has sent an army of 15 brilliant players to America and West Indies. However, the name of a player who scored runs at an average of 89 in T20 is missing from the list.

Let us know in detail, which player should have been a part of India's squad.

Ajit Agarkar ignored a promising player

Rinku Singh

Before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Indian team's chief selector Ajit Agarkar had a big challenge. That challenge was to make such a team for the upcoming World Cup that could go to the West Indies and win the title. However, during this time Agarkar made a big mistake.

The selection committee headed by him put a promising player in the list of reserve players. Actually, we are talking about the young left-handed batsman Rinku Singh. After this player from UP was not selected in the 15-member team, fans created a lot of uproar on social media.

Better record than players like Rohit Sharma

Rinku Singh, who made his international debut in T20 cricket against Ireland on 18 August 2023, has proved his mettle in limited overs cricket in a very short time.

The 26-year-old cricketer has played only 15 T20 matches so far.

In this, the left-handed batsman has scored 356 runs with a record average of 89. During this, his strike rate has been 176.23. Rinku has scored 2 half-century innings. His highest score is 69. These figures are much better than a great player like Rohit Sharma.

There was a lot of discussion in IPL 2023

Rinku Singh's name first came into a lot of discussions during IPL 2023.

In this season, he gave KKR a memorable victory by hitting 5 consecutive sixes in 5 balls in the same over of Yash Dayal in the match against Gujarat Titans. Due to this, he came into Team India.
