Rinku Singh, the star left-handed batter, played four T20Is against Zimbabwe, scoring a total of 60 runs, remaining unbeaten in three of those innings. The 26-year-old is on the verge of establishing himself as a regular in India's T20 setup. It is expected that Rinku will be part of the India squad touring Sri Lanka for a three-match T20I series, starting from July 27.
On the other hand, Dhruv Jurel amassed a total of 70 runs in the three innings he played against Zimbabwe. However, he is unlikely to travel to Sri Lanka for the T20I series due to the return of several big names to the squad after a break.

Team India's outgoing batting coach Vikram Rathour believes Rinku Singh has the potential to be a successful batter in red-ball cricket.
"When I see him bat in nets, I can't find any technical reasons why Rinku cannot be a successful Test batter. I understand he has made his name as a terrific finisher in T20 cricket, but if you look at his first-class record, he is averaging in the high 50s.
"He is also blessed with a very calm temperament. So, all these factors indicate that if given an opportunity, he can develop into a Test cricketer," coach Rathour told PTI.
