He said, “I think not including Rinku Singh in Team India is a very shocking decision. They cannot be dropped from India at any cost. When we formed the team 6 months ago, it seemed that the first name was Rinku Singh's. After this there was a thought whether Rinku and Yashasvi Jaiswal would play together in the team. No one thought that Singh would not be a part of this team. If he has not got a place in Team India, then a big reason for this could be that KKR has not given him much chance to bat this season.

Let us tell you that the 26-year-old has performed well for Team India in T20I cricket for some time but still he has not got a place. On the other hand, while playing for Kolkata, the left-handed batsman has not got that many opportunities in IPL 2024. If we look at his batting this season, this player has played a total of 9 matches, in which he has scored 123 runs at an average of 20 and a strike rate of 150. However, during this period he has played only 82 balls.
