Aakash Chopra calls for Rinku Singh’s Test call-up after amazing first-class run

Aakash Chopra is advocating for Rinku Singh to receive a Test match opportunity following a dominant run of form in the Ranji Trophy. The Uttar Pradesh batter has recorded four centuries and two half-centuries across his last six first-class appearances, maintaining a career average of 59.52 with 3,869 runs accumulated over 77 innings.

Chopra expressed frustration that Singh's consistent red-ball performances have been overlooked by selectors, suggesting the player may have been unfairly pigeonholed as a limited-overs specialist. Despite his contributions in domestic cricket and his previous involvement with the national white-ball setup, Singh has not been integrated into the Test squad.
