Rinku Singh: Indian team's young batsman Rinku Singh has surprised everyone with his talent and he has performed brilliantly for Team India so far. However, Rinku has got the most opportunities in the T20 format so far.

India's coach believes that Rinku can also play Test matches for Team India and can perform well. However, this player has not been selected in the Test team even once so far and it will be interesting to see in the coming time whether he gets a chance or not.

Big reaction from former Indian coach came forward

In fact, former Team India batting coach Vikram Rathore is very impressed with Rinku and believes that Singh can play Test cricket for Team India and perform well. While talking to news agency PTI, Rathore has made a big prediction.

Vikram said that “When I watch Rinku bat in the nets, I don’t find any technical reason why he cannot become a successful Test batsman. If you look at his first-class record, he averages around 50 and is a calm player and can emerge as a Test cricketer in his prime.”

If we look at Rinku's performance in first class, his record has been very impressive. So far, the left-handed batsman has played a total of 47 first class matches in his career, in which he has scored 3173 runs at an average of 54.70 and a strike rate of about 72. During this, 7 centuries and 20 half-centuries have come from his bat.

Rinku's highest score during this period has been 163 runs not out. However, despite this excellent performance, he has not yet received a call from Team India for Test cricket. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether he will get a chance in the upcoming Test matches.

This player can be replaced in Team India

India's next Test series is to be played against Bangladesh in September, where both teams will play a two-match Test series. In such a situation, he may get a chance in this series and can bat in the middle order. Rinku can be selected to bat at number 5, where the place of any player is not confirmed at the moment.
