The T20 World Champions have returned home to a grand welcome. Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with the team, and a victory parade was held in Mumbai. Amidst all this, everyone’s attention was on Rinku Singh, who neither met the Prime Minister nor attended the parade ceremony in Mumbai.

Let’s find out why Rinku Singh skipped all the celebrations:

India will play a 5-match T20 series against Zimbabwe starting on July 6. The first match will take place in Harare. The team for the series was announced earlier, and Rinku Singh was included. He has been sent to Zimbabwe to ensure he can play in the first match.

When Team India triumphed over South Africa in the T20 World Cup final, Rinku Singh was one of the first to rush onto the field, dancing joyfully with his teammates. However, he didn’t return to India with the team. Instead, he traveled to Harare for the T20 series. As a result, he missed meeting Prime Minister Modi and wasn’t present for the victory parade.
