While the roster showcases an impressive array of talent, the absence of familiar faces such as K L Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Sandeep Sharma, and RutuRaj Gaikwad has left many puzzled.
However, the non-inclusion of Rinku Singh has particularly resonated with fans, leading to a wave of dissatisfaction expressed across various social media platforms.
Rinku Singh deserved to be in the main squad man, he's given his everything in T20Is. Just considering his current IPL performance is not justified.

Recognized for his explosive batting, Rinku Singh has consistently delivered for his franchise, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). His unexpected exclusion from the final squad has surprised numerous fans, who have taken to social media to voice their disappointment. Despite a somewhat subdued performance in the IPL 2024 season, where he often played the role of a finisher, Singh’s potential remains undeniable, rendering his absence from the squad all the more perplexing.

– Rinku Singh Deserves To Be In The Team
– What Is Mohammed Siraj Doing In T20 ?

In contrast, India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad presents a formidable lineup under the leadership of the seasoned Rohit Sharma. With established names like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, and Rishabh Pant fortifying the batting order, the team exudes confidence and depth. The responsibilities of wicket-keeping will be shared between Pant and Sanju Samson, offering flexibility in the team’s composition.
Dube who performed only in IPL got a chance over Rinku who performed even in International.
BCCI don't deserve to win any cup

The appointment of Hardik Pandya as vice-captain further enhances the squad’s firepower, with his explosive batting and bowling abilities injecting dynamism into the team. Supported by players like Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel, the squad boasts a well-rounded and balanced lineup. The return of spin maestros Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal adds experience and variety to the bowling attack.
Congratz Samson, Dube & Chahal 😍 but injustice with Rinku 💔

With a formidable pace trio comprising Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Arshdeep Singh, India possesses a potent arsenal capable of challenging any opponent. Despite missing out on the final 15, Rinku Singh’s inclusion in the reserves, alongside players like Shubman Gill, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan, offers a glimmer of hope for fans who remain optimistic about his potential contribution to the team’s campaign.
Feeling sad for Rinku Singh. Should've been in the squad of 15. The form of the fast bowlers except Bumrah is a huge cause for concern.

How can you drop someone with avg of 89 and SR of 180 for india— Dr. Maulik Modi (@iamthemaulik) April 30, 2024
Sad not to find KL in this list. He was our best batsman in the World Cup final.
When India was struggling at 81/3, he came in, smacked Australian bowlers all around the ground, took the attack back at them with a quickfire fifty. By the time he departed after scoring a…

Rinku Singh scored 356 runs at an average of 89 and strike rate of 176.24 for India in T20Is, proved himself everytime and yet he didn't find a place in the WT20 squad, it's so unfair for him!!! Simply not done 👎 pic.twitter.com/iNKMnWkNsV
