The left-handed batsman has become an integral part of India’s white-ball setup in recent years, and is especially valued for his finishing abilities in pressure situations. Any prolonged absence in the later stages of the tournament may affect India’s team combination.

Many players like Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Arshdeep Singh, Tilak Verma, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson were seen during practice on Tuesday, but Rinku was not on the field.
