Suresh Raina’s Statement Explaining Rinku Singh’s Position In The Playing XI
“After this win, I think they will go for a win in the next game. I don’t know where Rinku Singh can get a place. We haven’t lost a series Down Under after 2008. I feel the confidence you will carry forward into the upcoming matches after winning the series will be extremely important,” he responded.
“Rinku is definitely in the Indian selectors and coaches’ scheme of things, but Jitesh Sharma played well in the last match. Washington Sundar played well again today (Thursday). I feel they can play this match with the same team, unless someone has an injury. Then you can give Rinku a chance. However, I feel it will be the same playing XI,” Raina observed.
