The Knight Riders showcased an impressive batting lineup throughout the tournament, with Rinku contributing significantly.

Sourav Ganguly feels Rinku may have missed out as India wanted to go with an “extra spinner” keeping in mind the spinning tracks in the West Indies.

The BCCI on Tuesday announced a 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies in June, keeping the hard-hitting middle-order batter, who has played 15 T20Is, in the reserves, along with Shubman Gill, Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan.

India middle-order batter Rinku Singh feels the extra pace and bounce on offer on South African pitches will need a little more effort and practice to get used to.

India batter Rinku Singh credited his calm approach during pressure situations in the ongoing T20I series against Australia to playing in the Indian Premier League.
