Rinku Singh's Explosive 68* Off 15 Balls: World Cup Spot Still Doubtful?

• Rinku Singh smashed 68 runs off just 15 balls in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, including 11 fours and 4 sixes, with a strike rate of 176.
• Despite this explosive performance, his chances for a spot in the T20 World Cup 2026 squad appear slim.
• Team India's potential lineup includes openers like Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson/Ishan Kishan, and middle-order batsmen Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma.
• Key bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Varun Chakravarthy are likely picks, filling six spots.
• The remaining four spots are contested by five players, with Rinku at a disadvantage as he doesn't bowl, unlike Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar.

Why It Matters: Rinku Singh's batting heroics might not secure his World Cup spot due to team balance favoring all-rounders.
