**Gwalior, India:** Former Indian player Saba Karim has suggested that Rinku Singh should open the batting alongside Abhishek Sharma for India in the upcoming three-match T20 series against Bangladesh.
While Abhishek is the designated opener for the series, the other opening slot is currently occupied by Sanju Samson. However, Karim believes Rinku would be a better choice as an opener, citing his impressive performance in the role during the IPL.
“There is a strong possibility that Rinku Singh should be seen batting alongside Abhishek Sharma. Rinku has been used as a finisher, but despite getting few opportunities, he hasn’t batted much in the limited overs he has got,” Karim said during a discussion on a sports channel.
While Rinku has primarily been a finisher in international T20s, batting from positions 4 to 7, his performance as an opener in the IPL is noteworthy. He has 559 runs in 23 matches as an opener, including three half-centuries.
The first match of the series is scheduled to take place on October 6 in Gwalior.
