  "account": "New Delhi: Veteran cricketers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the focus of Rinku Singh's hopes for the 2027 ODI World Cup. The middle-order batsman, who has played only two ODIs and 48 T20Is, wants to see the legends in action and hopes their presence would be a significant moment for India. Rinku, who has only won the World Cup in 2011, believes that the team's victory would be a huge moment for the entire country.\n\nDescribing himself as more than just a one-format player, Rinku wants to be remembered for his contributions to India's World Cup success rather than his five consecutive sixes in an over during the IPL 2023. He has established himself as a reliable finisher in T20 cricket but wants to move beyond that perception and play in a Test match for India. Rinku has also spoken about his leadership journey, stating that he is still learning from experienced captains in domestic and franchise cricket.",
