  "account": "Mumbai-based Indian cricketer Rinku Singh has revealed his ambition to represent India in Test cricket. The batter, who has been primarily associated with limited-overs formats, believes he can excel on all three formats. Rinku, who has played 48 T20Is and two ODIs, has stated that there is a misconception about him being a one-format player, but he plays in all three formats in domestic cricket. Speaking to JioStar, the 29-year-old asserted that people should not view him as a single-format player. Rinku, who represents Uttar Pradesh in state cricket, has an impressive first-class record, including three centuries and 23 fifties in 76 first-class innings. He also expressed his desire for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to lift the 2027 ODI World Cup title, considering it a significant moment for the entire nation, as it would be their last World Cup.",
