Rinku Singh did not get the chance to display his prowess in the first T20I against Ireland due to rain, but in the second T20I, his arrival on the crease caused a flurry of excitement. He did not disappoint during the death overs as his stormy innings took India to 185/5 in their 20 overs on Sunday (August 20) at The Village stadium in Dublin.

Rinku walked in after the dismissal of Ruturaj Gaikwad who scored a 43-ball 58-run knock under pressure. Gaikwad and Sanju Samson‘s stand took India to 129 runs in 15 overs and after their dismissals, Rinku and Shivam Dube took control and started feasting on Irish bowlers.

Shivam Dube remained unbeaten and he also smashed two sixes to score 22* runs off 16 balls.
