T20I Captain of India Suryakumar Yadav Praises Rinku Singh's Match-Winning Knock vs. Australia In 1st T20I
India team captain Suryakumar Yadav was all praise for youngster Rinku Singh, who held his nerves brilliantly in the first T20I against Australia in Visakhapatnam on Thursday. Suryakumar shrugged off the disappointment of a Cricket World Cup final defeat with a captain's knock, but it was the composure of Rinku Singh that took a young Indian team to a thrilling two-wicket win. This was India's most successful chase in T20Is. The skipper was in a belligerent mood, making a mockery of a 209-run chase with 80 off just 42 balls, but Rinku's 22 not off 14 balls saved India from blushes.
After the game, Suryakumar Yadav, while praising Rinku Singh, said, "He was very calm. Though it was a pressure situation, When he came in to bat, he was very calm. The composure he showed was great to see.”
