Asia Cup 2025: How did Rinku Singh earn his spot in India squad?

Power-hitting in the final overs

Rinku has emerged as one of India’s most destructive batters in the death overs. He has hit 22 sixes between the 18th and 20th overs in T20Is, the most among current Indian cricketers, trailing only behind veterans like Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni in overall numbers. By July 2024, he had smashed 17 sixes off just 48 balls in the last two overs which is an extraordinary striking ability that underlines his talent to close out games.
