Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh had a funny conversation when they came with liquids and a towel during the drinks break. Rinku forgot to give the bat back to Samson as he started moving back towards the Indian dugout.
To keep alive their hopes of changing World Cup history, India had to defeat West Indies to reach the semi-finals. No team has won the T20 World Cup twice or on their home ground and they are on the verge of creating history.
Rinku Singh runs away with Sanju Samson’s bat during run chase.
When Sanju Samson was batting during his brilliant innings at the iconic Eden Gardens, Rinku Singh came in as a water boy along with Kuldeep Yadav. While talking to Sanju and giving him the towel, Rinku held her bat under his arm.
As Rinku Singh started moving towards the dugout, Sanju Samson suddenly remembered that he did not have a bat. Rinku then returned and gave him his bat back, which was marked as a funny incident as both the players could be seen smiling.
The incident can be seen in the video:
Rinku Singh stands firm even amidst the biggest crisis of his life.
Indian left-handed star batsman Rinku Singh has got the nod for the T20 World Cup after a brief but good stint on the New Zealand tour. However, Rinku has not been given many chances to showcase her skills at the top level.
This is due to his demotion in the batting order, often being sent after the two all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey. Additionally, Rinku does not conform to Gautam Gambhir’s all-rounder category; Therefore, whenever the team needs to bring a player on board, he is the first one to be overlooked.
During the World Cup, he was overlooked at a time when he lost his father, who was suffering from terminal liver cancer. Despite the crisis in her life, Rinku decided to remain with the Indian team and serve the team in the best possible way.
Will Rinku replace Abhishek Sharma in the semi-finals?
While Abhishek Sharma has been a complete disappointment in the competition, this could be the right time for India to prepare to drop him from the team. Ishan Kishan may be sent back to the top order to open the innings with Sanju Samson, and Tilak Verma may restore his place at no. 3.
The Indian head coach may consider bringing in Rinku Singh as it will help their lower-order batting, which needs players who can hit the ball to all parts of the ground. India’s next match is in the semi-finals against England and they have spinners like Will Jacks and Liam Dawson, who can handle the new ball and trouble Sharma.
