Be it playing crucial innings for KKR or showcasing his potential to handle top-quality bowling attacks or performing under pressure, he has shown that he has got the skill set and temperament to become one of the premier finishers. His scintillating performances in IPL led to his selection for the national team last year. Rinku Singh made his T20I debut against Ireland in 2023. Since then, the left-handed middle-order batsman went on to play 17 games for the country, scoring 404 runs at an average of 80.8 and a strike rate of 178.8, laced with two half-centuries. Let's now learn about the three reasons why the Aligarh-born could be India's next best finisher in T20Is. 1. Calmness under pressure What really sets Rinku Singh apart from most other batters is his calmness and composure in high-stakes situations, a trait that has helped him take calculated decisions to maximize scoring rate. With this temperament, he has quite been able to face the challenging task of operating at top gear in the final overs. 2. Can change the course of the game Rinku Singh is known for his potential to score runs at a rapid pace, a trait which is quite significant for a finisher in the shortest format. Be it hitting sixes or fours, he has demonstrated his big-hitting skills to change the course of the game in the IPL. His power-hitting capability will surely come in handy, particularly in tense run-chases, when high run rates are required. He scored 893 runs in 46 T20Is including 4 fifties at a strike rate of 143.3. 3. Proven track record in clutch situations The 26-year-old who is considered as an emerging talent in Indian cricket has demonstrated his mettle in clutch situations multiple times in the IPL. If he's backed with more opportunities in the national set-up, he is certain to weave the magic in clutch moments, where he could come in handy in the knockout stages of tournaments as he could deliver when it matters the most, making him a reliable choice for the finisher's role.
