After a tremendous unbeaten cameo that helped India post a huge score, the former New Zealand cricketer and broadcaster simon dole Reiterated his belief that Rinku has not been utilized enough in India’s T20 setup and deserves extended support as a finisher.
Simon Doull believes that India has under-utilized Rinku Singh in T20.
Dole did not hold back in assessing Rinku’s journey in international cricket. He pointed out that despite achieving success several years ago and performing well in the IPL time and again, Rinku has not been adequately included in India’s T20 plans. The former fast bowler’s comment was not meant as a literal comparison, but rather to highlight how Rinku could have become a regular part of India’s T20I setup if he had the consistency support. According to Doull, India had identified Rinku’s finishing ability early on, but failed to fully exploit it at the international level.
“Rinku Singh is one of the best finishers in the game. We saw him explode in the IPL four or five years ago, and I still feel he hasn’t played enough T20 cricket for India since then. He should have performed even more and could have easily played 100 matches by now.” Dole told Star Sports.
Doull believes Rinku should be supported as a finisher
Doull expanded on his thoughts by highlighting what makes Rinku such a rare asset in modern T20 cricket. He emphasized that finishing is the role of an expert and Rinku performs it better than the rest. He emphasized that Rinku’s power comes from timing, bat swing and composure rather than mere size, qualities that allow him to dominate the bowlers in the final overs. For Dole, lack of support for a long time has been the only drawback in Rinku’s international career so far.
“Rinku needs to be supported in that final role because she is exceptional in it. Despite her height, she is incredibly powerful, and her ability to get under the ball at the death makes her extremely difficult to bowl to,” Added Dole.
