Middle-order batter Rinku Singh has expressed relief and gratitude after being named in India’s Asia Cup 2025 squad, admitting that he initially feared he might miss out. The 27-year-old said he was “mentally prepared for disappointment” before selectors confirmed his place in the final team.
In a candid interaction, Rinku revealed that doubts had started to creep in as speculation grew about intense competition for middle-order spots. “I felt I would be left out, but the selectors showed faith in me,” he said, acknowledging the trust placed in him after a string of strong performances in T20 internationals and the IPL.
Rinku’s rise in Indian cricket has been marked by his reputation as a dependable finisher. His ability to deliver in high-pressure moments, including match-winning knocks in recent series, has made him a valuable asset for India’s limited-overs setup.
The selection committee’s decision to include him alongside established names such as Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav indicates a balanced approach, combining experience with emerging talent. Cricket analysts believe Rinku’s inclusion could provide India with flexibility in the middle order, particularly during run chases.
With the Asia Cup seen as a key preparatory step ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy in 2026, Rinku is determined to make the most of the opportunity. “It’s now on me to repay the faith,” he added, stressing his focus on consistency and adaptability.
