Rinku Singh revealed that being selected for Asia Cup 2025 has given a major boost to his confidence.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indian batter admitted he hadn\u2019t expected to make it into India\u2019s squad for the tournament. The team was announced on August 19 in Mumbai by chief selector Ajit Agarkar and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinku Singh was among the 15 players chosen for Asia Cup 2025. The left-hander has been a consistent performer in T20Is, scoring 546 runs in 24 innings at an impressive strike rate of 161.07, including three half-centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Rinku Singh is leading Meerut Mavericks in the UP T20 League 2025. He recently marked a milestone by scoring his maiden T20 century in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeeing My Name on the Asia Cup List Gave Me a Big Motivation\u201d \u2013 Rinku Singh<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\""I<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to RevSportz on the sidelines of the UP T20 League 2025, Rinku Singh revealed that he initially feared being left out of this year\u2019s Asia Cup squad due to his inconsistent form last year.<\/a> However, his selection has given him a significant confidence boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI got motivated the moment I saw my name on the Asia Cup list. I didn\u2019t perform well last year and thought I might be overlooked, but the selectors showed faith in me, which really boosted my confidence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinku Singh added that his recent innings in the UP T20 League have further strengthened his self-belief. \u201cThe innings I played in the UP T20 League have boosted my confidence, and I plan to carry that momentum forward. Bowling is crucial today; selectors want players to contribute in multiple roles. If you can\u2019t impact the game with the bat, you must do it with the ball,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On his batting position, Rinku Singh admitted that he isn\u2019t fond of batting at No. 7 or No. 8 but emphasized his adaptability. \u201cI batted at No. 5 in 2023. I don\u2019t enjoy batting at No. 7 or No. 8, but the team\u2019s requirements come first, so you must perform wherever needed. I have played 33 T20Is for India, scoring three fifties, and I can bat in any position, not just as a finisher,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Asia Cup 2025<\/a> is set to begin on September 9 in the UAE, with India taking on the UAE in their opening match on September 10 in Dubai. Placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, UAE, and Oman, the Men in Blue will look to start their campaign on a strong note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
