IPL 2024: RESULTS | POINTS TABLE
In five innings he has played so far this season, Rinku has scored 83 runs and faced only 51 balls, with a highest of 26.
“Because he’s not getting many opportunities, I hope selectors won’t forget about Rinku Singh,” Manjrekar told Firstpost.
“He’s a straight walk-in into the Indian team. 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”.

Rinku’s finishing skills earned him an India call-up for white-ball series in Ireland last year, where he made his international debut in a T20. Since then, he has featured in 15 T20Is and scored 356 runs, including two fifties, at a strike rate of 176.25. He has also played two ODIs.
Former champions KKR are currently number two on the IPL 2024 points table with four wins in six matches.
