Head Online Desk : Rinku Singh : A five-match Test series is being played between India and England. The Indian team has taken an unassailable lead of 3-1 in this series. The last match of this series will be played from March 7 at Dharamshala ground. Ahead of this last match against England, young batsman Rinku Singh has reached Dharamshala. Therefore, the possibility of his Test debut is being predicted.
Rinku Singh arrived in Dharamsala ahead of the final match of the ongoing Test series between India and England. He gave this information himself through social media. Rinku took to his official Instagram account to share a photo with England head coach Brendon McCullum. Also, the caption expresses the feeling that Maculam is his place of inspiration. Since then, his debut in the Dharamsala Test has been predicted. But this cannot happen as he is not included in the Indian team.
In fact, former New Zealand wicket-keeper batsman Brendon McCullum has also shown his talent in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team. Apart from this, he has also been the coach of the KKR team. On the other hand, Rinku Singh also plays for KKR in IPL. McCullum has a long-standing relationship with Rinku under such conditions.
Indian team will get strength with Rinku's participation
If Rinku Singh joins the playing-11, the Indian team will get a big boost. The left-handed batsman has so far proved himself as the best finisher in limited overs matches. If Rinku plays the last match in Dharamsala, he can give a perfect reply to England's style of baseball with his bat. Rinku can be included in the team in place of Rajat Patidar.
Padikkal can debut
KL Rahul batted brilliantly in the first Test played in Hyderabad. But he could not play the next three matches of the series due to injury. Meanwhile, Rajat Patidar got a chance to play in his place. But Patidar flopped in all the three matches. Therefore, it is expected that Devdutt Padikkal will get a chance to replace Patidar in the last Test match of the series. Padikal has also scored a lot of runs in domestic cricket in recent times.

Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, KS Bharat, Devdutt Padikkal, R. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep.
