Against Bangladesh in the second Twenty20 International of their current three-game series, Team India performed admirably. The match was place on September 9 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. India lost the toss and choose to bat first to start the game.
It was an intermediate order innings. Suryakumar Yadav scored eight runs before walking back after openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma scored ten and fifteen runs, respectively. But what really stood out for the Men in Blue were the strikes from Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh.
After Reddy scored 74 runs in 34 deliveries, Rinku Singh added 53 runs in the next 34 deliveries. The viewers were primarily drawn to Rinku’s joyous jubilation. The 26-year-old gestured to his recently acquired “God’s Plan” tattoo as he approached his 50th birthday. On social media, the same video clip has become extremely popular.
