RSA v IND 4th T20I: Why is Rinku Singh's bat not working?
South Africa vs India, 4th T20I: India had scored a big score in the third match and won by 11 runs in a thrilling manner, despite this there will be some concerns for the team. Especially the batting order and poor form of left-handed power hitter Rinku Singh remains a concern. The 4th match of this series will be played today, starting at 8:30 pm Indian time, which will be telecast live on Sports 18 Network and Jio Cinema App.
Rinku Singh His batting has not been able to produce many runs in the last few months
Rinku Singh, the most aggressive batsman of T20 cricket, has not been getting many runs from his batting for the last few months, it seems that he is not able to play comfortably by coming at number six or seven. In the last match, young batsman Abhishek Sharma ended his series of failures with the bat for the last few matches by scoring an aggressive half-century. Now a similar innings is expected from Rinku as well.
Captain Suryakumar has enough time to instill confidence in Rinku and bring his performance back on track. In the current series, Rinku came in at number six in two matches and at number seven in one match and could score only 28 runs. As a finisher, Rinku can get only about 10 balls in each innings.
Rinku has performed well by batting at number five most of the time
This has probably affected his confidence as he is not able to understand whether he should play aggressively or stay in the supporting role. Rinku has performed well at number five most of the time, but when Sanju Samson is coming in as an opener and Tilak Verma at number three, it is difficult to send Rinku before Hardik Pandya. The team management will have to find an immediate solution to this issue. India have tried 12 of their 15 players in the first three matches and now it remains to be seen whether fast bowler Yash Dayal or Visakh Vijaykumar gets the first chance. Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders have retained Rinku Singh for Rs 13 crore for IPL 2025. Rinku Singh was bought by KKR in the 2022 auction for Rs 55 lakh. In this way, his salary has increased 24 times.
