‘It Was Special From Rinku Singh’ – Ishan Kishan

Indian wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan lavished praise on Rinku Singh for maintaining composure and handling pressure adeptly, guiding India to a narrow two-wicket victory against Australia in the first T20I of the five-match series.

Holding his nerve, Rinku Singh played a crucial role, scoring an unbeaten 22 from 14 balls with four boundaries, ensuring India reached the 210-run target on the game’s penultimate delivery.

Here’s what Ishan Kishan, who himself hit 58 runs from 39 balls said in the post-match ceremony:

“Rinku played well. Playing at the early stage of his career and playing that kind of innings, it was special.”

Since stepping into the Indian side, Rinku Singh has been a batsman to watch in the shortest format. His skill in keeping calm during tense moments and successfully concluding matches sets him apart.
