Star India batter Rinku Singh made headlines with his stunning knocks in the ongoing series between India vs Australia. However, he was unbeaten on 22 off just 14 balls as India beat Australia in a last-over thriller in Vizag on Thursday, November 3 as well. He has made a name for himself finishing games in the IPL and managed to do so for the Indian team as well. And, he claimed that he just followed the advice that former Indian legendary captain MS Dhoni gave him as well.

Speaking after the game in a video posted by BCCI, Rinku Singh said: “I had once asked Mahi Bhai, ‘What is your mindset while batting in the last over?’ He said, ‘Try to remain as calm as possible and try to hit as straight as possible.’ I just follow that and it has helped me a lot. I didn’t know that I was a no ball (laughs). Arshdeep told me later in the dressing room and that the runs won’t count. It’s okay the important part was to win the game.”

However, Rinku Singh played second fiddle to captain Suryakumar Yadav while the latter was charging. But, once he was dismissed, Rinku stepped up to ensure he stayed till the end and finished the game.

“It is great that we won the game,” Rinku Singh concluded. “When I had walked out to bat it was a perfect situation for me as it is something I have being doing for a while now. Felt really good batting with Surya Bhaiya. I tried to remain as calm as possible and trusted myself to take the game in the final over and win it.”
