As Team India gears up for the ICC T20 World Cup, the spotlight falls on the crucial role of the finisher. With Rinku Singh relegated to reserves, the question arises: who will step up as India’s specialist hitter in the death overs in America and the Caribbean?
Critics are questioning India’s decision to name Rinku Singh in the reserves, especially considering his impressive track record. Singh’s remarkable tally of 356 runs in just 11 innings at a staggering strike rate of 176.2 has made him a standout performer in T20 internationals. His ability to deliver under pressure, particularly in the death overs, sets him apart, with only Tim David matching his prowess in recent times.
However, with Hardik Pandya assuming the role of vice-captain, doubts loom over the opportunities for players like Shivam Dube. The absence of Rinku Singh from the main squad raises eyebrows, especially considering his remarkable contributions in the middle order.

As India finalizes its likely first-choice XI for the T20 World Cup, the absence of a designated finisher raises concerns. With stalwarts like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Virat Kohli leading the batting lineup, the question remains: who will fill the crucial role of the finisher in the death overs?
Moreover, the selection conundrum deepens with the presence of Rishabh Pant as the preferred wicketkeeper, leaving talents like Sanju Samson on the sidelines. The absence of veterans like Dinesh Karthik, known for his prowess in slog overs, adds to the puzzle.
As India aims for T20 World Cup glory, the selection dilemma surrounding the finisher position underscores the team management’s need to make strategic decisions that balance experience and form, ensuring a formidable lineup for the challenges ahead.
