I love playing Test cricket- Rinku Singh

Speaking to News 24, Rinku Singh said,

I want to play all three formats. I love playing Test cricket. My batting average in red-ball cricket is 55. I really love playing against the red ball. I enjoy it a lot. Test cricket is a big cricket. Every cricketer plays white-ball cricket, but playing Test cricket is a big deal. Especially, in this era, I am looking forward to playing.

I will play the World Cup next time- Rinku

Rinku Singh was seen struggling in IPL 2024, due to which the management gave more priority to Shivam Dubey for the T20 World Cup 2024. Rinku says that selection is not in his hands and he is ready to work hard to make a place in the next T20 World Cup.

It is every player’s dream to play the World Cup for the country and it is my dream too. I had performed well for India, but team selection is not in my hands. Maybe they (selectors) did not see me bowling at that time, or there was some other different thing. It was the selectors’ decision because of the team combination, but no matter, I will play the World Cup next time, I will work harder.

Australian bowlers looked very worried while Pant was at the crease. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rishabh Pant (37) is seen batting brilliantly along with debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy (41) in the first match of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. Pant’s batting played an important role in helping Team India, which won the toss and batted first, recover from the initial setbacks. However, before getting out against Australian captain Pat Cummins, Pant was seen batting in complete control. So, to dismiss Pant, who was looking dangerous in the match, the captain of the opposing team, Cummins, had also made a special plan, about which former cricketer Michael Hussey has also talked. Hussey, who was doing live commentary during the match, said- This is why you can make a fast bowler the captain. He is a smart bowler, smart captain, Pat Cummins. He bowled this ball outside the off-stump, threatening Rishabh Pant’s composure, and it just went a little full. Rishabh Pant, he saw that midwicket and tried to work there.

However, for India, KL Rahul scored 26 runs, Rishabh Pant scored 37 runs and Nitish Reddy scored 41 runs, due to which India was successful in reaching this target. Whereas the Australian bowlers took advantage of the home conditions and bowled brilliantly and except spinner Nathan Lyon, all the fast bowlers took wickets. For the Kangaroo team, Josh Hazlewood took 4 wickets and Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh took 2 wickets each.

AUS vs IND: In Perth Test, Kohli missed an easy catch of Labuschagne, it may prove to be costly like the World Cup.

In the match, India won the toss and decided to bat first. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium, Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. So when Team India, which had scored 150 runs in the first innings, came out to bowl, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has performed amazingly. Bumrah gave India its first success by dismissing Nathan McSweeney (10) in the third over itself. However, after this, there was a golden opportunity to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne, who came to bat at number three, on zero, but due to a mistake by Kohli, Team India could not dismiss him. Let us tell you that on the fifth ball of the same over being bowled by Bumrah, Labuschagne, who was on strike, was facing his first ball, and while defending, the ball went lightly from the bat towards slip and into the hands of Virat Kohli. Although Kohli took this catch, he could not handle the ball till the end and the catch was dropped. It will be worth seeing that Labuschagne gets this lease of life, otherwise the Indian team does not face a burden like the World Cup 2023.
