Rinku Singh was left out of the main India squad, but named in reserves.
The young middle-order batter wasn't in explosive form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, playing only as an 'Impact Player' in most matches. However, since making his debut for India last year, Rinku has hardly put a foot wrong in the 2 ODIs and 15 T20Is he has played.
But it wasn’t enough for the BCCI selectors, who left him out of the main squad, and only named him in the reserve players’ list.
As the cricket world and fans sympathized with Rinku, KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan was spotted accompanying him alone on the way to Mumbai.
Shah Rukh, who has been one of Rinku's biggest admirers after witnessing his heroics with the bat for KKR over the previous couple of seasons, appeared to be sure that the batter does not feel alone during these difficult times.
