According to reports, Rinku Singh's father, who is suffering from liver cancer, 4th stage, has been admitted to a hospital and is on ventilator support. Sources said Rinku, who did not attend a practice session in Chennai on Tuesday, will most probably not participate in the next game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
There are chances that India may bring Sanju Samson into the playing eleven for the must-win match against Zimbabwe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rinku has figured in all the matches India have played so far in the T20 World 2026, scoring 24 runs in all. He is a vital cog in the team in the role of a finisher, coming in the death overs, and his absence will be a setback for the hosts as it impacts the balance in the team. Rinku is also a good fielder. Rinku scored a zero in the previous match, the Super 8 stage clash with South Africa, in which India were bowled out for 111 after allowing the Proteas to recover from 20\/3 to post 187\/7 thanks to a 35-ball 63 by David Miller.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For the match against Zimbabwe, their second in the Super 8 stage, India are likely to make another change by bringing in left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who was controversially left out of the previous match against South Africa, with the team management preferring Washington Sundar in his place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
