Watch: Rinku Singh Shatters Media Box Glass With Sensational Six

Rinku Singh has been in the smashing form in the ongoing second T20I against South Africa. After the first game between the teams at Durban was washed out, the second game is taking place at St George’s Park, Gqeberha.

Rinku Singh has been the shining light for India in the ongoing game as he has played another magnificent innings for his team. The batter came to bat when India were tumbling at 55/3 and were under pressure.

Rinku Singh soaked in all the pressure and played some fantastic shots. He assed the pitch perfectly and once he got his eye in, he was nothing short of exceptional. The southpaw continued his golden touch in T20Is and has played another blinder.

Rinku Singh slammed his maiden half-century for India as he took South Africa bowlers to the cleaners. He exhibited brilliant hitting abilities during the last over. The proof of that is the glass of the media box of the stadium that he broke.

Rinku Singh smashed Aiden Markram for two consecutive sixes on the last two balls of the 19th ball. On the last delivery, he stepped out and timed his habit to perfection that went over the sightscreen and hitting the glass of media box.

IND vs SA: People anticipate him to mirror Yuvraj Singh’s impact – Sunil Gavaskar on Rinku Singh

“He’s in the Indian team, and there are immense expectations. People anticipate him to mirror Yuvraj Singh’s impact – Rinku Singh becoming another Yuvraj Singh. If he can achieve even a small fraction of what Yuvraj did for Indian cricket, he will have succeeded remarkably well.”

Rinku Singh has been exceptional for India in T20Is. He has an average of 82.67 to go with a strike rate of 183.70.
