    What's the story

    Rinku Singh was surprisingly left out of the main squad for the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup.

    Despite his noteworthy performances, he was designated as a reserve player.

    This decision sparked widespread debate among fans and cricket pundits alike as he had aced the finisher's role in India colors.

    Following this announcement, Rinku received words of encouragement from India's captain Rohit Sharma.

    In an interview with News24, Rinku shared the advice he received from Rohit post his exclusion from the squad.

    Sharma emphasized the importance of perseverance and focusing on future opportunities.

    He told Rinku, "Don't worry, you are still very young. There will be many World Cups in the future. Keep working hard. There is a World Cup every two years, so focus on that."
