Rinku Singh: Rinku Singh is considered one of the most important players of the Indian cricket team's T20 team. Rinku Singh is popular among fans for his ability to hit long sixes and his ability to be a match finisher. However, for the last few days, his fans are angry with BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar and the reason for this is that after the T20 World Cup, Rinku Singh has now been ignored in the Duleep Trophy as well.

Rinku Singh did not get a chance in Duleep Trophy

The batsman of Indian Premier League team Kolkata Knight Riders became famous for his brilliant performance in IPL 2023 when he hit five consecutive sixes in Yash Dayal's over to win his team the match against Gujarat Titans.

After this, Rinku Singh also played many brilliant innings for Team India. However, he could not find a place in the 60 players selected by BCCI for the Duleep Trophy. Earlier, even during the T20 World Cup, Rinku Singh did not get a place in Team India and he was included in the reserve team.

Rinku Singh himself told the reason why he was not selected in Duleep Trophy

Recently, KKR's 26-year-old batsman Rinku Singh spoke openly about not getting a place in the Duleep Trophy and said that the main reason behind not getting a place is his poor performance in domestic cricket.

During a conversation with Sports Tak, Rinku Singh said that his performance in the domestic season was not that good and he could not take part in many matches of the Ranji Trophy and played only two-three matches. However, Rinku Singh is hopeful that he can get a place in the team for the matches to be held for the next round.

Rinku Singh's first-class performance

In first-class cricket, Rinku has played 47 matches and scored 3173 runs at a strike rate of 71.59. During this, he has scored seven centuries and 20 half-centuries. On the other hand, talking about Duleep Trophy 2024, star players like Team India's Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, key all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and fast bowler Mohammad Siraj are participating in this tournament. At the same time, Team India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, who played a Test against Australia in 2023, has also got a place. Whereas, among the Indian players, Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah and Ashwin have been rested.
