ICC T20 WC 2024: Rinku Singh hogs limelight during practice

Sourav Roy, New York: United States of America is gearing up for the upcoming T20 World Cup which is set to begin from June 2. Rohit Sharma led Indian Cricket Team will begin it’s camping on June 5 against Ireland. Before that India will play it’s only practice game against the neighbours Bangladesh on Saturday. Ahead of that Team India had an optional practice session on Friday. Only four cricketers were present in that training. They were Rishabh Pant, Rinku Singh, Avesh Khan and Mohammed Siraj.

Both Pant and Rinku looked extremely confident while batting leter in the nets. They batted there for quite some time. Avesh and Siraj too bowled well in the nets. Rinku mostly batted against the spinners and he was seen hitting quite a few balls in the gallery as well. It was clear that the left hand batter, is trying hard to make it to the main squad.

Rohit’s boys are scheduled to play Bangladesh in their only practice game on Saturday. The India skipper would definitely want to pick his playing xi for their tournament opener from this match. The main concern for the Men in Blue would be to get accustomed with the weather. Another concern for Team India would be Virat Kohli. He has just landed in New York on Friday after spending a holiday with his family. So it’s still not clear whether he would play the practice match against Bangladesh, as he wasn’t a part of Team India’s three practice sessions.
