Having over run Bangladesh with a consummate ease to clinch an unassailable 2-0 lead, India will aim to inflict a complete whitewash by winning the third and final match of the ongoing T20 International series in Hyderabad on Saturday.
Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, Kuldeep Yadav and Akash Deep are leaving the India A team and will be replaced by Pratham Singh, Akshay Wadkar, Shaik Rasheed, Shams Mulani and Aaqib Khan.
Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav's late bowling efforts combined with Washington Sunder's Super Over show helped India beat Sri Lanka in the third T20I at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium here to sweep the series 3-0 on Tuesday.
Rinku has so far played 15 T20Is for India and has an average of 89 and a strike-rate of over 176.
The BCCI on Tuesday announced India's 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup. The main squad did not feature Rinku as he had been included in the team as a reserve player.
Captain Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh slammed critical fifties and dominated spinners with immaculate ease to help Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) stay alive in the race for Playoffs in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 with a clinical six-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
Rinku Singh gained instant fame as he smashed five consecutive sixes in the final over of the game to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
In between, his story includes injury scares and a three-month suspension by the BCCI in 2019 for participating in an Abu Dhabi T20 tournament.
Brendon McCullum, head coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders, alluded to Rinku's remarkable journey from the small town of Aligarh, known more for its locks than cricketers, to becoming an IPL sensation on Wednesday.
Rinku Singh hit an unbeaten 23-ball 42, laced with six boundaries and a maximum, as he and Nitish Rana (48*) easily chased down a 153-run target for a seven-wicket win over RR.
