“Every moment in the middle with Rohit Sharma is a masterclass in learning”: Rinku Singh after taking Indian home with captain against Afghanistan in 3rd T20I.

Since making his debut for India, Rinku Singh has consistently delivered standout performances, showcasing his prowess as a dynamic batter. One of his memorable displays occurred in the third T20 International against Afghanistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Facing a challenging situation with the hosts at 22/4, the 26-year-old displayed composure and resilience, forging an unbroken 190-run partnership with skipper Rohit Sharma. This collaboration significantly contributed to India’s final total of 212 runs.

Rinku Singh’s individual contribution was substantial, as he scored an unbeaten 69 runs off 39 deliveries, while Rohit Sharma exhibited his batting mastery with an unbeaten 121 runs off 69 deliveries. The duo asserted dominance over the Afghan bowling unit, leaving Ibrahim Zadran’s side with limited options. None of the opposing team’s strategies proved effective against the relentless partnership.Notably, this match marked the first occasion when Rinku batted alongside Rohit in international cricket. Reflecting on the experience, the Aligarh-born batter shared his sentiments on Instagram, expressing admiration for the time spent with the 36-year-old. He stated, “Every moment in the middle with @rohitsharma45 bhaiya is a masterclass in learning, fun, and entertainment. Series win vibes.”
