Rinku Singh Opens Up About His Approach
“When match started the ball was not coming properly to the bat and once we got the momentum we started to hit. The ball was gripping the surface but once we hit some sixes the momentum changed.” Rinku Singh said in post-match presentation
“When I come out to bat I look to score singles and look for bad balls to hit. The team is important, not me. The team should win the match,” elaborated Rinku on his approach as a batter.
