In the world of cricket, Rinku Singh is gaining popularity, and Indian coach Rahul Dravid is taking notice of his ability to close off matches. At the Punjab Cricket Association’s IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, the three-match Twenty20 International series against Afghanistan begins. According to Dravid, this is a perfect chance for Singh to improve his finishing.
Rahul Dravid underlined that for Singh’s overall development as a player, he must take advantage of opportunities, whether they arise in this series or the IPL. He also mentioned that a player always knocks on the doors of the selectors when they are performing well and are in the appropriate frame of mind, particularly when they are finishing the game.
“He’s been doing a great job filling in as a finisher. He has another chance to improve as a cricket player in this series (against Afghanistan). Any opportunity he receives, whether it is here or in the IPL, will be beneficial to his growth. According to Cricbuzz, Dravid continued, “Whenever a player does well, he always stays in the selector’s thoughts, echoing the sentiment of nurturing talent through consistent performances.”
In addition, the club has benefited from Rinku Singh’s left-handed play style. The head coach of Team India also mentioned Tilak Varma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, two young players who have been contributing well to the squad. But he made it clear that, even with the fierce rivalry among the team, decisions will only be made based on merit, or performance. Dravid announced the opening pair prior to the T20I series. He also emphasized the squad’s adaptability, which permits choices that are in the group’s best interests.
“The addition of players such as Rinku, Jaiswal, and Tilak has enhanced the bow’s string. But in the end, we don’t just choose batsmen based on their left or right hand; we also do it based on their performance. We will now open with Rohit and Jaiswal,” the fifty-year-old said.
Nothing is closed, and we know with certainty what kind of skill sets Rohit and Kohli have: Rahul Dravid
Concerns regarding the batting order surface as Virat Kohli will be back for the next games despite missing the Mohali T20I. In order to give the players vying to play for Team India a chance, Rahul Dravid keeps his options open. Dravid felt confident in these experienced players’ ability to handle any bowling challenge, regardless of whether Kohli openers with Rohit or bats at a different position.
“Nothing is shut down. With the talent and skill sets that players like Rohit and Kohli possess, we are certain that they will be able to find solutions against various bowling attacks,” Dravid said in closing.
