Rinku Singh, a promising young cricketer from India, has been selected to join the Indian cricket team for the upcoming series against Ireland, scheduled to take place from August 18th to 23rd. Rinku Singh’s exceptional performances during the 2023 Indian Premier League left a lasting impression on everyone. His remarkable achievements in the IPL 2023 are bound to be remembered for generations to come.
In particular, his exceptional contributions to the Kolkata Knight Riders during the tournament showcased his ability to turn challenging situations in favor of his team. Among his unforgettable moments was a standout performance against the Gujarat Titans, where he brilliantly hit five consecutive sixes in the final five balls of the match, securing a remarkable victory for KKR.
The remarkable showings on the field prompted widespread calls for Rinku’s inclusion in the Indian national squad. As a result, Rinku Singh is now set to make his debut appearance for the Indian cricket team against Ireland.
It’s worth noting that Rinku Singh was not chosen for the recently concluded T20I series against West Indies, a decision that surprised many. Nevertheless, he is among the fresh faces enlisted in the Indian team for the upcoming three-match series against Ireland.
In recent developments, the BCCI shared a video documenting Rinku Singh and Jitesh’s journey from India to Ireland. During this journey, Jitesh Sharma engaged in an enjoyable interview session with Rinku, who enthusiastically discussed his feelings about receiving his maiden call-up to the Indian cricket team.
Reflecting on his inaugural tour with the Indian cricket team, Rinku Singh expressed his sentiments: “It’s an incredible feeling. Every cricketer dreams of representing India. Upon entering my room and seeing the Team India jersey with the number 35 imprinted on it, I was overwhelmed with happiness and emotion.”

“The opportunity to represent India is a dream shared by every cricketer. When I beheld my India jersey, it was an indescribable feeling. Emotions ran high,” added Rinku.
