India’s rising star Rinku Singh talked about the influence of former skipper MS Dhoni over his remarkable finishing skills in the final overs after the Men in Blue’s triumph over Australia in the first T20I match at the YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium.
Rinku stole the limelight with some of his stellar shots towards the end which played a major role in India’s success in the first T20I. Rinku remained unbeaten and scored a quickfire 22 off 14 balls to get India across the finish line.
After the game, the left-handed batter talked about the conversation he had with MS Dhoni, which has helped him finish off games for his team.
“In four overs, we needed some 40-odd runs. My mindset was to do what I wanted to and take the game to the last over. I talked to Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni) and asked him what he thinks in the last over he said that if you stay calm it will be good for you so I try to do that,” Rinku said in a video posted by BCCI.
“It feels good that our team won the game, and when I came out to bat, it was the perfect situation for me to do what I have been doing for some time. It felt good to play with Surya bhaiya,” Rinku added.
