Rinku Singh’s Comeback Crucial for India in Series Clinching Match
In the absence of Rinku Singh, India handed the responsibility of the lower middle order to wicket-keeper batter Dhruv Jurel but he could not capitalize on his opportunities. He just scored 4 and 2 in his two outings and did not help India consolidate. With Rinku back to full fitness, he will be reinstated in the playing XI. His return will strengthen the firepower in the lower middle order for India, much-needed for them. The team would be keen to capitalize on his finishing skills in the all-important fourth T20I, especially with the series on the line. Rinku's presence could make all the difference for India in Pune.
Currently, India lеads the five-match T20I series 2-1 after winning the first two games in Kolkata and Chennai. But missing a chance to seal the series early, Suryakumar Yadav and his team lost the match in Rajkot. The reigning T20 champions, India, will surely look to bounce back and keep their dominance in the shortest format with another opportunity to clinch the series in Pune. The upcoming match is important for India to seal the series and dominate.
