Rinku Singh and MS Dhoni The 26-year-old who is known for his ability to remain composed under pressure opened up on the invaluable guidance he has received from the legendary MS Dhoni.

While speaking to the reporters at the post-match presentation after India's win over Bangladesh in the second T20I in Delhi, he shared his thought process when his team finds itself in tricky situations, especially after the fall of multiple wickets.

"I keep telling myself to remain calm in tough situations. It comes naturally to me as I have been playing at this position for a long time,” Rinku said. Furthermore, he highlighted that his calm approach is not just instinctive but also the result of extensive practice.

“I practice accordingly as well,” Rinku mentioned, underlining the importance of preparation in his development as a reliable finisher. A major influence in Rinku’s growth has been none other than MS Dhoni. "I have talked a lot regarding this with Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni), and it has helped,” Rinku revealed.

Rinku also emphasized the importance of self-belief when his team is in trouble. “When you lose 3-4 wickets, you need to have self-belief,” he stated. Talking about his match-winning partnership with Nitish Reddy, he said, "We just wanted to build a partnership as the wicket was slightly slow, rotate strike and punish the bad balls."

Rinku Singh drew plaudits for his 53 off 29 (5 fours, 3 sixes) at a strike rate of 182.76. On the contrary, Nitish Reddy was adjudged the Man of the Match for his 74 off 34 (4 fours, 7 sixes).
