Rinku Singh reflects on his bowling performance
Rinku Singh conceded he wasn't aware that he would be asked to bowl the 19th over when Sri Lanka needed just nine runs to win from two overs. However, he did mention that Suryakumar Yadav had told him to be ready to roll his arm over if needed.
Here's what he said in a video posted by BCCI (via cricket.one):
"I have scalped quite some wickets in domestic cricket, and I even have a wicket in ODIs. Surya had informed me to be ready for bowling in the series. Although I did not bowl in the run-up to this game, Surya bhai had asked me to keep rehearsing my bowling. I did not expect to be asked to bowl during the game, as the situation was quite tight. But, he asked me to roll my arm over. And, once I began bowling, it was God's plan – two wickets."
Rinku finished the T20I series with two runs and as many wickets in three games.
