India completed an all-round team performance in the second T20I, showing a comprehensive 86-run win over Bangladesh. All those who featured in the game showed fantastic all-round combinations. However, the second T20I between India and Bangladesh pointed out how strong India’s young middle order was for the flow of the game. Nitish Reddy was one who stood out as a performer with bat and ball. More importantly, his batting also supported the team at the right moment to showcase his value for the side. Rinku Singh made it possible to rescue India during a tense phase and showed great composure under pressure while taking crucial wickets. Besides him, Riyan Parag also faced all those moves, somehow showing it with a quick cameo with his bat, as well as bagging a wicket, and reflected his capability.
Fantastic win to seal the T20I series against Bangladesh! Loved watching young @NitishKReddy's fireworks with the bat, and @rinkusingh235 is proving to be a brilliant finisher for Team India. Well done, boys! Let's carry this momentum forward and aim for another series whitewash.… pic.twitter.com/Ob9UQ01wRF

The youngsters performed so well that Hardik Pandya, didn’t bowl a single over throughout the game. That alone speaks to the depth of talent within the side and allowed Pandya to loosen up a little.

Youngsters Stepping Up For Team India
The last match saw the young players playing with exuberance and seriously showing the spirit and potential of the team, said Suryakumar Yadav, T20I captain for India. He was effusive in the praise showered on young players as his team showed how to step up on those critical moments that mark the way ahead for India in T20 cricket.
“I wanted my middle-order to bat under pressure and express themselves. I’m really happy with the way Rinku and Nitish played. They batted exactly as I wanted,” said Suryakumar, as quoted by TOI.
“I wanted to see what different bowlers could do in various situations. Sometimes Hardik won’t bowl, sometimes Washington Sundar won’t bowl. I’m very happy with the way the bowlers stepped up,” added Suryakumar.
In the 2nd T20I, Nitish Reddy batted explosively and scored 74 runs, Rinku Singh scored 53 runs and Hardik Pandya scored 32 runs. These three were the top batters of the match.
