Rinku Singh Heartbroken After T20 World Cup 2024 Snub, Reveals Father Khanchandra – WATCH

New Delhi: Rinku Singh is left heartbroken after the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter was omitted from the India team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 to be held in USA and West Indies, his father Khanchandra Singh. The BCCI on Tuesday announced the 15-member squad with Shivam Dube being preferred over Rinku. The Uttar Pradesh batter has been a consistent performer for KKR in the last IPL and also with the Indian team, with his bat. He was a part of the Indian team that won the Asian Games gold last year. However, Rinku will still travel with the Indian squad but as one of the reserve cricketers.

“There was hope, and that is why there is a bit of sadness. We brought sweets and crackers to celebrate; we thought Rinku would play in the first eleven. He is heartbroken. He spoke to his mother and told her that he was not picked in the 11 or 15. But he also said that he would be travelling with the team,” Khanchandra told Bharat24, with his voice filled with pride and disappointment.
