All the cricket fans expected that Rinku Singh, the star finisher of the KKR team in the IPL, would be given a place in the T20 team against the West Indies, but the team selectors dashed all the hopes of the fans.

The BCCI has announced the T20 squad against West Indies on Wednesday, July 5. Fans were hoping that Rinku Singh, who had a blast with his bat in the IPL, would get a chance to debut for Team India in the T20 series. It is not wrong to have such an expectation of the fans because Rinku Singh proved with his performance in IPL 2023 that if he is given a chance to play, his bat will not remain silent.

Among the young players in the Indian T20 squad against the West Indies, Tilkar Verma has been given a place. In IPL 2023, Tilkar Verma played many brilliant innings while playing for Mumbai Indians. Rinku Singh also finished the game by playing match-winning innings in many matches while playing for KKR in IPL 2023. Speaking of statistics, Rinku Singh scored 474 runs in 14 matches in IPL 2023 at an average of 59.25, in which he scored four half-centuries while remaining not out six times.
The way Rinku Singh performed in the IPL, he should have been first name in the Indian team.
He gave his best and still not selected. Feel for him. 💔 pic.twitter.com/esvtAwtEsF

On the other hand, Tilak Verma, playing for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023, scored 343 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 164.11 in IPL 2023. Kolkata Knight Riders’ left-handed batsman Rinku Singh may not make it to the team as Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson will also play in the middle order. In such a situation, it is not possible to keep anyone at these places.
Indian T20 squad against West Indies:
Ishan Kishan (wk), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Verma, Surya Kumar Yadav (vc), Sanju Samson (wk), Hardik Pandya (c), Akshar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar.
