But the absence of Rinku Singh from the final squad riled up the netizens, who were not happy to see the KKR batter's name in the final list.
Fans were not happy that the fact BCCI did not pick Rinku for the marquee event starting in June.
“Worst decision to not select Rinku Singh," wrote one user wrote.
"Is there any justification for dropping Rinku Singh?", another user wrote.
“Rinku Singh deserved to be in the main squad man, he's given his everything in T20Is. Just considering his current IPL performance is not justified," came from another.
Speaking of the KKR batter, the left-handed batter has had no joy whatsoever in the IPL 2024. In 9 matches played, Rinku has scored mere 123 runs at a strike rate of 150.
