Rinku Singh's omission from the T20 World Cup 2024 squad hasn't gone down well with anyone. From former cricketers questioning the decision to social media getting furious over the exclusion; Rinku Singh has become the trending topic all across. Rinku, who was touted as the 'next big thing' in cricket too is shocked and heart-broken over the exclusion.
Even though Singh is not part of the 15-man squad, he has been included as a reserve player. Shubman Gill, Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan have also been added to the list of reserved players. What's even more saddening is that Rinku Singh was so sure of his inclusion that he had asked his father to get crackers and sweets.
