In the second Twenty20 International match against Bangladesh in Delhi, brilliant batsman Rinku Singh hit 53 runs off just 29 deliveries. He hit several boundaries early in the innings, but he slowed down a little bit as Nitish Kumar Reddy was hitting the Bangladeshi bowlers all over the field. Rinku hit back after Reddy was dismissed, reaching his half-century with a six over the keeper’s head.
India lost three early wickets, so a significant partnership was urgently required. At that point, Rinku and Nitish collaborated and completed the task flawlessly. Each cricket player was a great compliment to the other, acting as a stabiliser whenever the other attacked. They combined for 108 runs, putting Bangladesh on the defensive as India went on to score 221.
Once again, the team captained by Suryakumar Yadav had a tremendous day at the bat, limiting Bangladesh to just 135 runs and winning by an overwhelming 86 runs. Following the match, Rinku let loose with his scathing critique, claiming that skipper Suryakumar and head coach Gautam Gambhir allowed every player to express themselves.
“Whatever the situation (is), the message from the coach and captain is maarte jao ball ko (just keep hitting the ball).” We are to play our game. We are to support ourselves and play your game, as instructed by (the) coach. At the news conference following the game, Rinku stated, “He has given us complete freedom to hit the ball.”
Rinku Singh discusses his attitude while batting in various situations.
In the second T20I against Bangladesh, Rinku, who often bats as a finisher, stepped out to bat during the powerplay due to the loss of early wickets. Speaking about the subject, the cricketer from Aligarh stated that he primarily concentrates on hitting singles and doubles when he comes out to bat early in order to put pressure on the bowler. He continued by saying that his goal as a finisher is to cope with boundaries.

I take the bat at various points during the game because of the position I play. My goal is to attack the bad balls and take singles and doubles whenever I am put in to bat early. My goal is to hit more fours and sixes when I come to bat with two or three overs remaining. “My primary goal is to consistently score more runs for the team,” he continued.
