Rinku Singh’s absence from India’s T20 World Cup squad, announced on April 30, 2024, has raised eyebrows. Despite his impressive performances in recent matches, including a match-winning knock against Australia, the talented batsman was surprisingly left out of the 15-man squad, even failing to make the list of reserves. Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan criticized the decision, highlighting Rinku’s consistent performances that should have earned him a spot in the team.
