India’s batting coach, Sitanshu Kotak, has confirmed that Rinku Singh, a middle-order batter, will rejoin the squad ahead of the crucial Super Eights clash against Zimbabwe. Rinku had briefly left the team due to his father’s critical illness, but he is expected back in Chennai for the match.
Kotak mentioned that Rinku’s absence was due to his father’s health issues and assured that he would return to the team. There is a possibility that wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson might be included in the playing XI for the upcoming match.
Following a significant loss to South Africa, Kotak hinted at potential changes in the team lineup. The coaching staff is considering adjustments to address the team’s recent struggles, especially with the batting order and match-ups against off-spinners.
Samson’s performance during practice has garnered attention, leading to discussions about his potential inclusion in the team for the upcoming match. While Kotak did not confirm Samson’s participation, he acknowledged the team’s contemplation regarding his role in the game.
