Uthappa: Gill's Entry Cost Rinku Singh World Cup Spot; Explains Harshit Rana's Backing

  • Rinku Singh, despite past performances and being a travelling reserve, might miss the upcoming T20 World Cup squad.
  • Robin Uthappa states Shubman Gill's inclusion as a third opener and the need for two wicketkeepers (Sanju Samson) led to Rinku's exclusion.
  • Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube's all-round capabilities further reduce Rinku's chances in the balanced Indian side.
  • Harshit Rana's repeated inclusion is backed by the team for his wicket-taking ability and batting potential at number 8.
  • Uthappa notes modern T20 bowlers prioritize wickets over economy, aligning with Harshit's aggressive style and team strategy.

Why It Matters: Uthappa explains Rinku Singh's T20 World Cup snub due to Gill's inclusion and team balance.
