‌T20WC | Twitter reacts to heartbroken Rinku revealing his mother about World Cup omission

The news of Rinku’s elimination from the T20 World Cup 2024 came as a surprise to his father, Khanchandra Singh who revealed that the family was ready to celebrate with crackers and sweets. He stated that Rinku was grief-stricken on being snubbed from the 15-man squad and did call his family members to express the same. 

“We had a lot of hope that he will be named in the squad. We had brought sweets and crackers as well and we felt he would be a part of the eleven. Uska to dil toota hai aisi baat nai hai (It's not that he is not 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)"

The southpaw has been phenomenal for the Indian side after a couple of great IPL seasons for the Kolkata Knight Riders. Having played 15 T20Is, the Uttar Pradesh-based star smashed 356 runs at a scintillating average of 89 and strike rate of 176.23. His 38-ball 68* and 39-ball 69* against South Africa and Afghanistan were the epitome of his abilities lower down the batting order. 

India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

Reserves: Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan

Stats rule the game

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…

This will never happen

They dropped Rinku Singh.



When will we drop this autocratic, marketing-led bullshit selection process that shows its ugly face before every World Cup



It’s led by lies that defy logic, stats, performance.



It’s led by a cricketing past that is irrelevant now.



It’s led by a…

Unreal

Team India unearthed one proper T20 player since its semi-final exit in Adelaide in 2022. One. In two years.



Rinku Singh... and he is NOT going to the #T20WorldCup2024. Unreal stuff!
