With Virat Kohli unavailable for the first two India vs England Tests, now the big question arises, as to who will replace him in the middle order. The first Test begins on January 25 in Hyderabad, and the selectors could name his Kohli’s replacement soon.
Whether the replacement makes the playing XI or not, is doubtful. But former India batsman Aakash Chopra has come up with his choice. In a video shared on his Youtube channel, Chopra analysed if Rinku Singh could make it.
“What about Rinku Singh? He was kept with the team in South Africa. He is not a one-trick pony. It’s not that he is just a white-ball player. It’s not that he is just a T20 player. Check his first-class numbers and he is going back and playing first-class cricket whenever he gets a chance.”
“It’s not that he is cutting corners. He doesn’t make himself unavailable because he is in the T20 team and who is going to play him Test matches. He has an average of over 50 and has been playing for many years. So why not Rinku Singh? Very tempting option,” Chopra said.
