Rinku Singh is an Indian player who plays cricket. His dad Khanchandra Singh spoke about how Rinku felt when he was not picked for India’s team for the T20 World Cup this year.
Rinku’s father stated that he had complete trust in the southpaw’s selection to the main team, adding that the family had also bought crackers and sweets to commemorate the event. However, Rinku Singh had already been named in the traveling reserves.
Speaking to Bharat 24, Khanchandra Singh also said that Rinku Singh spoke with his mother after being rejected from the Indian squad. He said:
“We had a lot of hope that he will be named in the squad. We had brought sweets and crackers as well as we felt he will be a part of the eleven. Uska to dil toota hai aisi baat nai hai (it is not that he is heartbroken). He spoke to his mother and said that while he is not named in the 15, he is in the 18 and is going (to the T20 World Cup)”
Former cricketers speak in support of Rinku Singh
Several former cricketers, notably Ambati Rayudu, have voiced disappointment over Rinku Singh’s absence. The former Indian batter discreetly questioned the selectors’ choice not to choose players based on their abilities. He said that, other from Ravindra Jadeja, Rinku has been India’s only consistent finisher in the previous two years.
Here’s what Rayudu said about X:
“Rinku Singh’s omission clearly indicates stats rule over cricketing sense.. who in this selected Indian has been walking out in the 16 th and 17 th over in a t20 game in the last 2 years and playing fluently with a high strike rate and can win a game except Ravindra Jadeja.. he is a big miss.. quality should come before quantity and most importantly cricketing ability should come before likability on Instagram.”

Rinku has a staggering average of 89 and a strike rate of 176.23 in only 15 T20Is for India, making his absence even more perplexing.
