Rinku Singh is very well living his dream, from being a part of India’s reserves to the World Cup to KKR lifting their 3rd IPL title, and hopes that one more will come true if India lift the trophy in June. The prolific finisher has not been named in the 15-member squad for the marquee event but will travel as a reserve to the USA and the Caribbean islands.
What Rohit Sharma told Rinku Singh after T20 WC snub
Rinku ended his silence on not being included in the main squad, revealing how he moved on with some motivational talk from skipper Rohit Sharma. The KKR star also sang praise on the Hitman’s captaincy, emphasizing that he always intended to give opportunity to the youth.
“Yes, anyone feels a little bad if he is not selected despite good performance. However, this time I could not get selected due to the team combination. It is okay, one should not think too much about things that are not in one’s hands. Yes, I was a little upset in the beginning. Whatever happened is fine. Whatever happens happens for good. Rohit Bhaiya did not say anything special. He only said that just keep working hard. There is a World Cup again after two years. There is no need to worry too much. This is what he said to me,” Rinku Singh told Jagaran in an interview.

“The whole world has seen how good his captaincy is. If I talk about myself personally, I have done only one tour with him so far. I have not even talked to him much. He supports the youth a lot. He only wants the youth to do well and he always says that play, do well,” Rinku Singh added.
