India Receives Boost Ahead of Fourth T20 Against England; Rinku Singh Returns to Full Fitness.
IND vs ENG: The five-match T20 series between India and England is underway, with three matches already completed. India currently leads 2-1. The fourth match will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. This match holds significant importance for both teams. India aims to secure an unassailable lead, while England hopes to level the series.
Rinku Singh's Return: A Major Relief for Team India
Team India received welcome news ahead of this crucial match. While India has performed admirably in the series, Rinku Singh's absence has been felt. He missed the second and third matches due to injury, but he is now fully fit and ready for the fourth T20. His return could lead to changes in Team India's playing XI, potentially resulting in Dhruv Jurel's omission, who had filled in for Rinku in the previous two matches.
Intense Nets Practice: Rinku Singh's Preparation
Rinku Singh has diligently practiced in the nets ahead of the fourth T20. A previous injury sustained after the first match in Kolkata prevented him from playing in the subsequent matches. However, he is now fully recovered and has been rigorously training. Reports indicate he confidently attempted adventurous laps and sweep shots against spinners and looked comfortable against pacers. Furthermore, he received throwdowns from specialist Raghavendra and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, further enhancing his chances of playing.
