Every time he has got the opportunity, you've seen how good he can be, in the sense of his consistency and the range that he has. He's somebody who I like, apart from the core of the Indian team, apart from the big names we are thinking about," Manjrekar told Firstpost.
Looking at Rinku’s T20I figures, he made his debut for India in 2023, having scored 356 runs in 15 T20Is so far. With the sheer consistency and determination, Rinku Singh has established himself as a great finisher.
