India Batter Rinku Singh is Unlikely to play the T20 World Cup 2026 clash between India and Zimbabwe, scheduled to take place in Chennai on Thursday. The News X has reliably learnt that the star batter is Unlikely to play the Super 8 crucial fixture.
Rinku had left the national camp and returned home because of a family emergency. According to reports, Khanchand Singh is in serious condition and has been admitted to a local hospital in Greater Noida. Rinku had travelled with the Indian team to Chennai on Monday, February 23, a day after their Super 8 match. He left Chennai early on Tuesday morning after learning that his father had been put on a ventilator.
Rinku’s absence comes at a crucial stage of the tournament. After losing their first Super 8 match to South Africa, India are under pressure and can’t afford another slip-up. They next face Zimbabwe in Chennai — a side that surprised many by defeating Australia and Sri Lanka in the group stage to reach the Super 8.
Zimbabwe, led by Sikandar Raza, lost their first Super 8 game to the West Indies and will be eager to bounce back. South Africa ended India’s 12-match unbeaten run in the tournament with a 76-run victory in Ahmedabad. The loss not only hurt India’s momentum but also damaged their Net Run Rate. To keep their semi-final hopes alive in the T20 World Cup 2026, India now needs to win both of their remaining matches by convincing margins.
