Rinku Singh has continued to win the hearts of fans with his performances on the cricket field in recent months. The highly-rated batsman has not looked back since he enjoyed an impressive campaign in IPL 2023.
Playing for Kolkata Knight Riders, he finished the competition as his team’s leading run-scorer. He scored 474 runs to enjoy a great season. The impressive campaign paved the way for his debut in international cricket and the left-hander grabbed the opportunity with both hands. He has already made his debut for Team India in T20Is and ODIs.
Rinku Singh has played 2 ODIs and 14 T20Is so far. In T20Is, he has scored 287 runs at an impressive average of 71.75 and a strike rate of 176. He is currently plying his trade in the ongoing three-match T20I series against Afghanistan and looks destined to be part of India’s squad for Cup of this year’s World T20 in the Caribbean and the United States.
Rinku Singh ignores Fazalhaq Farooqi:
Rinku Singh has won over fans not only with his batting but also with his mannerisms. Fans love his honest and direct answers in interviews. And recently, fans also praised him for the way he conducted himself during the second T20I against Afghanistan in Indore.
The incident took place in India’s 16th innings when Rinku Singh was standing at the non-striker’s end and Fazalhaq Farooqi was bowling to Shivam Dube. After Dube hit the ball midway through the game, he went for a single before changing his mind. Rinku had also left his place to run before returning.
As Rinku headed towards the crease, Farooqi stood in his way. The Indian batsman pushed the bowler slightly to return to the crease, prompting Farooqi to counterattack with a push on the back. Unfazed by the altercation, Rinku calmly walked to the other side of the stumps. Farooqi was not impressed with Rinku’s attitude and wanted to broach the issue with him, but the Indian batsman showed no interest in talking to him.
