KL Rahul Drops a Massive Hint on Whether Rinku Singh Will Make His ODI Debut or Not
The captain of the Indian cricket team, KL Rahul, revealed that Rinku Singh will most likely make his ODI debut in the upcoming series against South Africa. India will face South Africa in the first ODI encounter on Sunday, and in the pre-match press conference, Rahul said that Rinku has been impressive both in T20Is and in first-class cricket, a factor that contributed massively to his selection for the ODI series. India have selected a young side for the ODI series, and in the absence of first-choice cricketers, the youngsters have a perfect chance to cement their position by proving their mettle on the big stage.
Rahul said, "What has been good to see is the temperament and game awareness that Rinku has shown in the T20I series. He has shown what a good player he has been. We have seen the calmness. That has been very refreshing for me to see on television as well. He has performed really well across formats in first-class cricket. He will get his opportunity even in the ODI series.”
Rahul further explained, "I will be doing wicket-keeping and batting in middle order in this ODI series. I am happy to take any role in the Test series that the captain, the coach, and the management want. Of course, even in T20, I want to play for my country.”
