‘Chalo Zimbabwe!’: KKR comes up with a unique post for Rinku Singh and Harshit Rana | Cricket News



NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) celebrated the selection of two of their players, Rinku Singh and Harshit Rana, for the upcoming five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe with a unique post on Tuesday.
The IPL 2024 champions shared a special post to commemorate their achievement. Rinku had already secured his spot in the 15-member squad, while fast bowler Rana was later added to the Indian team for the initial two matches of the series.
“God’s Plan, babay! ???? Chalo Zimbabwe!” KKR captioned the image of Rana and Rinku on their social media platform ‘X’.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that alongside Rana, two other players, Jitesh Sharma and Sai Sudharsan, have also been included in India’s squad for the Zimbabwe tour. Sai Sudharsan, Jitesh and Rana have been drafted into India’s 15-member squad for the first two (of five) T20Is in Zimbabwe starting later this week. They will replace Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal, all of whom will return to India with the rest of the T20 World Cup-winning squad before flying out to Zimbabwe for the last three games.
Rana earned his maiden India call-up following an outstanding performance in the 2024 IPL with the KKR. Simultaneously, Rinku, who was part of India’s victorious T20 World Cup squad as a reserve player, is set to play a vital role in the team’s upcoming matches.
The series is set to commence on July 6, with subsequent games scheduled for July 7, 10, 13, and 14. The Harare Sports Club will serve as the venue for all the matches in this series.
India’s squad for first two T20Is against Zimbabwe:
Shubman Gill (Captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar, Tushar Deshpande, Sai Sudharsan, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Harshit Rana.
