Team India is currently in Dublin and preparing ahead of their 1st T20I vs Ireland on 18th August, Friday. The team has started practicing and there are some new faces in the squad. With Jasprit Bumarh returning to the national side after 11 months, the pacer will be leading the new-look Team India.

Ahead of the series, Rinku Singh, appearing in his first series for India, shared a picture of him training with the squad. The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter had an impressive Indian Premier League (IPL) season. But unfortunately, he did not secure a spot in the Indian squad for the recently concluded West Indies tour.

Rinku Singh awaits his India debut

He scored 474 runs from 14 outings, for KKR in the IPL 2023 season. He was also the leading run scorer for his side. Apart from the Ireland series, the left-handed batter has also been named in India's squad for the upcoming Asian Games 2023. The selectors have named a second-string side for the event, given that the main players will be busy with their preparation for the upcoming Asia Cup and ODI Cricket World Cup 2023.

A few days back he was pictured with India's wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) Bengaluru. The wicket-keeper has been recovering from the multiple injuries he suffered during a tragic car crash last December.

He also shared a heartwarming post, giving a glimpse of his flight journey. He shared a picture of himself seated in the business-class cabin of the Emirates Airline. In his post, his sweet caption caught everyone’s attention. He wrote in his caption “ When dreams come true”, indicating him finally being successful in his endeavour. The 25-year-old also mentioned how he was off to his first tour with Team India, in his caption. He is excited about making his debut for the Men in Blue.
