Furthermore, Chopra branded star batter Rinku Singh as the player who could have a breakthrough campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024, opining that the fans will have to see how much the 26-year-old will be able to sustain during the course of the tournament. 

“Rinku Singh. The way he is performing and looking really good. We have to see how much he is able to sustain, the day he sees or faces any failure, and how he comes back. He is going to stay and be around the team and system. He is the one player the entire country looks up to,” Chopra said.
