Indian cricket team would be aiming for a new start after ODI WC 2023 final defeat against Australia. The onus will be on swashbuckling left-handed batter Rinku Singh as he will have to bat responsibly. Rinku Singh may be promoted up the order as he can change the complexion of the match quite quickly.
Aussies can’t afford to be complacent as T20Is are quite different from the ODI format. The newly appointed skipper Matthew Wade would be undoubtedly tested in the 5 T20I match series. The experience of Smith & Warner would come in handy.
It’s a massive series for Rinku Singh- Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra was seen speaking on his YouTube channel. Aakash Chopra pointed out that it will be a crucial series for Rinku Singh and also heaped praise on Tilak Varma. Aakash Chopra stated that Tilak Varma could have played ODI WC 2023 final.
“Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma – important players. It’s a massive series for Rinku Singh, as was the previous one and the one before that because he has been consistently doing well. He scores runs while batting down the order,” said Aakash Chopra.
“Tilak Varma also did well when he was given the job. The Ireland series was not good, if it had been good, he might have been in the World Cup’s scheme of things. He might have even played in the final. You would have got a left-handed batter who could have bowled off-spin,” he added.
Rinku Singh an Asset
We all witnessed that how Rinku Singh made a name for himself in IPL 2023 by performing exceedingly well against quality opposition teams. Rinku Singh is tipped to be the next big thing in World Cricket as he is quite fearless and at the same time can play the waiting game as well.
Aussies won’t be an easy challenge by any means as they have named a sturdy squad with an eye on T20 WC 2024 which is slated to take place in USA & West Indies. All in all, we can expect a cracker of a series between the two giants of cricket as they have got quality players in their mix.
