Right-handed batter Ruturaj Gaikwad will lead the India men’s T20 team in the upcoming Asian Games, set to be held from September 19 to October 8 in Hangzhou, China. Rinku Singh and Prabhsimran Singh also received their maiden call-up for Team India.
Rinku was thrilled to receive his first India call-up, as he was unable to make the team for the current tour of the West Indies. Rinku shared a post on his Instagram which was posted by his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders.
In the post, you can see Rinku in the Indian and his KKR jerseys, with a text in the background stating, “Finally”.
