Rinku Singh has been in excellent form in the ongoing second T20I against South Africa. After the first match between the teams in Durban faded away, the second game will take place at St George’s Park, Gqeberha.
Rinku Singh has been the shining light for India in the ongoing game as he played another magnificent innings for his team. The batsman came in to bat when India were slipping at 55/3 and were under pressure.
Rinku Singh absorbed all the pressure and played some fantastic shots. He hit the pitch perfectly and once he got his eye on it, it was nothing short of exceptional. The left-hander continued his golden touch in T20Is and played another blind.
Rinku Singh smashed his first half-century for India as he took South Africa’s bowlers to the cleaners. He showed brilliant hitting skills during the last over. The proof of this is the glass in the stadium press box that he broke.
Rinku Singh smashed Aiden Markram for two consecutive sixes in the last two balls of the 19th ball. In the last installment, he went out and timed his habit perfectly, going over the screen and hitting the glass of the media box.
