3 reasons why Rinku Singh might get selected for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024

2023 was a breakthrough year for Rinku Singh. His mind-blowing performances in the middle-order for Kolkata Knight Riders paved the way for his selection in the national team for the first time. He has impressed with his skills in the Indian colours as well and in this article, we will take a look at 3 reasons why Rinku Singh can find his place in the squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

1. An Explosive Figure in the Middle Order

Rinku Singh has been a match-winner for his franchise in the IPL and his knocks in the middle order have created an influential impact. On multiple occasions, he rescued Kolkata from adverse situations last season which impressed the national team management. His potential to change the course of the match in that batting position is his biggest trump card and Team India would look to use that quality in the T20 World Cup.

2. Familiarity with the role

Many youngsters have set IPL on fire with their batting potential but only a few of them have been able to cement their place in the Indian team. A lot of times this happens because of the discrepancy in the role that they play for their franchises and the role that they get to play in the national team. But this is not the case with Rinku Singh as he plays a similar role in the Indian team that he usually plays for Kolkata Knight Riders.

3. Not Just a hard-hitter

Rinku Singh has earned recognition of being a hard-hitter but the young left-hander from Uttar Pradesh knows how to take the responsibility as well. In IPL on several occasions, he has come into bat when his team was in a dire situation. Rinku took the onus in those matches and guided his team to victory by playing to the situation. He is flexible in his approach and his being a calm customer amidst chaos will come in handy for the Men in Blue in a major tournament like the T20 World Cup.
