“Because he’s not getting many opportunities, I hope selectors won’t forget about Rinku Singh. 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,” Firstpost quoted Manjrekar as saying.

Looking at Rinku’s records, he made his debut in a T20I for India against Ireland in 2023. Till now, Rinku has played 15 T20I matches and scored 356 runs at a strike rate of 176.23. He is considered to be among the best finisher for India.
