Rinku Singh was one of the most notable omissions from the Indian cricket team for the 2024 T20 World Cup. The middle-order batsman has been one of the best T20I talents to emerge in the last two years. In 15 T20Is, he has scored 356 runs at an average of 89. His strike-rate is 176.24. However, IPL 2024 has not been good for the batsmen. He has scored 168 runs in 13 matches at an average of 18.67. His strike rate is 148.67.
Rinku did not get much game-time in the first part of IPL 2024. When he got it, he couldn’t count it. Former England captain Michael Vaughan said Rinku could not ‘maximise’ his opportunities.
“He had opportunities and he came early on a few occasions but couldn’t make the most of those opportunities,” Vaughan told Cricbuzz.
“He is a brilliant player who can strike the ball. His level is so high now, which is what we expect. In T20, you have to take so many risks, that at times, you have games where That doesn’t happen.” Go your own way.
“You’re talking about trying to hit it out of the ground on a regular basis, and occasionally you can get caught out. As long as his mentality is to be completely aggressive – he’s a better player that way. – That will be absolutely fine.”
Vaughan further said that this period of leanness will not last long for Rinku.
“I have seen him over the years where he will explode. He averages 80 for India because he keeps not out in the end, he is a quality player. He is not a flash in the pan, I don’t think. After two years, we will be like ‘Where has Rinku Singh gone! He is not the player we thought about him.’
“He was just having one of those periods. The top order works, whereas in the last year, it wasn’t working and he was getting a chance to bat first on a regular basis. He could hang around for a while and Could explode again. He had some opportunities but mainly in T20 cricket, you can get out trying to be aggressive.”
