What did Rinku Singh say about not being selected in the team?
Rinku Singh is not very upset about not being selected in Team India for the T20 World Cup 2024. He says that captain Rohit Sharma has asked him to continue working hard, as the World Cup is to be played once again after 2 years. While talking to Dainik Jagran, Rinku said,
“Anyone feels a little bad if they don't get selected in the team despite good performance. However, this time I could not get selected due to the team combination. It's okay, you should not think too much about things that are not in your hands. Yes, I was a little upset in the beginning. But whatever happens happens for good. Rohit Bhaiya did not say anything special. He just said that just keep working hard. There is a World Cup again after two years. There is no need to worry too much.”
Rinku Singh praised Rohit Sharma
Rinku Singh also praised captain Rohit Sharma. He said, "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 play and perform well."
