After an impressive batting display and an effective bowling effort from Team India, the Men in Blue secured a 44-run victory against Australia in the second T20I at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on November 26. This win propels the hosts to a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series.
India put up a commanding total of 235 for 4 thanks to stellar performances by Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Ishan Kishan. However, at the end of the innings, Rinku contributed a quickfire cameo of 31 runs off 9 balls. Singh's explosive batting took 25 runs off Abbot's 19th over, which summed up the difficult day for the Australian bowlers.
Rinku hammered four boundaries and a couple of sixes, leaving the Australian pacers seemingly perplexed and unable to find a solution against his aggressive batting. His performance was praised by one and all, especially on social media, where fans expressed their delight in many forms.

Speaking about his performance after the match, Rinku said, “I bat in this number a lot so I am calm knowing this position. I like to play each ball according to where it lands. I try to notice whether it's a slower ball or fast ball, and I respond accordingly. Finishing only. I know I'll get 5-6 overs sometimes or maybe 2 overs sometimes. That's exactly how I practice. As if I'm batting in the last five. That's what VVS sir has also told me to play in the nets.”
