Rinku Singh’s Asia Cup Selection: A Make-or-Break Tournament?

Rinku Singh has been given a place in the Indian squad for the Asia Cup 2025, presenting a vital opportunity amidst form concerns. His inclusion in the team, announced on August 19, gave the Meerut cricketer a chance to show his abilities on the continental stage. However, a subsequent performance in the UP T20 League 2025, where he scored only 23 runs, brought his form into question. The Mavericks, despite reaching 150-8, needed more from their skipper. His IPL 2025 performance was also far from impressive. Singh managed only 206 runs in 11 innings. His struggles also extended to the international stage, where he scored 39 runs against England. The Asia Cup 2025 is a critical tournament for Singh, especially with the 2026 T20 World Cup approaching. His ability to perform in high-pressure situations has been proven, but the road to success is often paved with consistency. He needs to rediscover his form in the Asia Cup to cement his place in the team, or he risks losing ground to other players.
