Fans on Twitter reacted after Indian national cricket team batsman Rinku Singh scored lowly in the ongoing T20I against Sri Lanka national cricket team. The final game of the series between the teams is underway at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele.
India has been asked to bat first in the ongoing game but things have not been going well on their pitch. They lost early wickets in the game as the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team bowlers were all over the batsmen and left them under pressure.
As India lost a few wickets early on, India promoted Rinku Singh up the order. However, the move did not work as the batsman failed to light up the stage and returned to the hut without making any major contribution with the bat. He was dismissed by Maheesh Theekshana in the fourth over.
Mahesh Theekshana bowled a ball that rose upwards just at the off stump. Rinku Singh made room when he tried to flick it over the cover. The ball stayed on the surface for a bit and he bowled too early. The ball was in the air and four fielders were converging in the mid-wicket region but Pathirana called for it and took the easy catch.
Rinku Singh scored just 1 run off 2 balls. With his wicket, India lost their third wicket and were left reeling at 14/3. The Kolkata Knight Riders batsman has been struggling to get going in T20Is of late and is failing to score much or live up to expectations.
The current series has not been very good for Rinku Singh. The batsman got a chance to bat in the first game but could not make the most of it as he managed only one run in the game. He will now be heading home as he is not part of the ODI squad.

Gambhir destroyed Rinku Singh’s career by not sending him to his favourable position, they said.
And they are right. pic.twitter.com/1u5znZ0S2P

More than Sanju Samson, frustrated by Rinku Singh’s sacking.
Sanju used to bowl wickets like that but never saw Rinku Singh do it. That was nothing if your team was two wickets down. He hardly gets any chances in the top 4 and today was the day to triumph. Disappointed. pic.twitter.com/XePZfhUxia

What was the point of sending Rinku Singh to number 4? #INDvsSL
