In the third Twenty20 International between India and Afghanistan at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Rinku Singh went out to bat with India down 22/4. The Men in Blue amassed 212 runs despite Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh putting together a 190-run stand for the fifth wicket despite Fareed Ahmad taking three wickets and seemed dangerous.
After that, the Indian captain unleashed a merciless attack, finishing with 121* runs off just 69 deliveries.After that, Rohit Sharma praised the young player and said that Rinku is really good since he knows his strengths and stays composed on the field. The 36-year-old continued by saying he was looking for someone who could take charge of the circumstance without compromising his moral principles, someone like Rinku.
However, Rinku Singh provided him with good support, hitting 69* runs off of 39 balls.
“It was a good game for us to be in; the pressure was there, and it was important to bat long and deep and not compromise on the intent we want to show. Establishing the partnership was important, and Rinku and I kept talking to each other to not lose that intent in big games.” The previous few series he played, he demonstrated his bat skills,” Rohit was cited by NDTV as adding.
Extremely composed and somewhat aware of his might. He is maturing, fulfilling his responsibilities, and performing admirably for India. We knew what he did in the IPL and he brought that over to the Indian colours as well, so that bodes well for the squad going forward. They wanted someone like that at the backend,” he continued.
As the game progressed to Super Over, Afghanistan equaled India’s 212 runs in the second innings. Curiously, the first Super Over concluded evenly as well, but the Men in Blue prevailed handily in the second one. India won the T20I series 3-0 with it.
