Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra is extremely eager to see how Rinku Singh will be utilized with the bat in the T20I series between India and England. He added that even captain Suryakumar Yadav might have to continue batting at No. 4 because of Tilak Varma’s stunning at No. 3 as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “My focus is also on another Indian player. That is Rinku Singh. How will he be used? That’s a big, big story. When I see the batting order, anyone can be sent anywhere. Axar Patel has said in any case that the openers are set and all others can bat anywhere. Suryakumar Yadav gave the No. 3 position to Tilak Varma and he scored two centuries. He (Suryakumar) might be thinking that we believe in Varma, we believe in karma, but what about his karma? He hasn’t scored runs. It’s been a very middling year for Suryakumar Yadav.”

In the same video, Aakash Chopra also added that Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel could play ahead of Rinku Singh in the batting order.

“Suddenly, things have changed quite a bit. The batting order is so lengthy that you wonder how would Rinku be utilized because Hardik or Nitish might be sent up the order at times. You might send Axar if you need a left-hander. Rinku is also a left-hander, he should be sent, but they haven’t done that thus far. So I am extremely eager to see how Rinku will be used in this series. He is a quality player, but it’s a very difficult number to bat and he doesn’t bowl. He is an excellent fielder, but what if he doesn’t get proper batting? People might ask for something else to be done as he is not being utilized properly. Things change very quickly, that’s the reality,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
