Rinku Singh’s mindblowing over vs Sri Lanka makes STOIC Gautam Gambhir smile 

Gautam Gambhir, the coach of the Indian team, was really pleased when Rinku Singh emerged as the decisive factor in India's triumph against Sri Lanka in the third T20I match at Pallekele on July 30th, Tuesday. Rinku was assigned the responsibility of protecting a score of nine runs in the last two overs. He successfully accomplished this by dismissing two important batsmen in the 19th over, as Sri Lanka was attempting to reach a total of 138 runs. At that point, India had already achieved victory in the series.

Gambhir was the centre of attention when cameras were directed towards him during the second-to-last over, when Rinku, in a daring decision made by the Indian team, assumed the role of the bowler. Rinku bowled a slow off-spin delivery to Kusal Perera, who was batting on 46 and in a position to seal a victory for Sri Lanka. Nevertheless, Rinku altered the outcome of the game with his initial delivery, directed directly at Perera, and proceeded with a second ball that caused Perera to hit the ball high into the air. Rinku autonomously completed the catch, while the camera recorded Gambhir's wide grin at that same instant.

Rinku subsequently dismissed Ramesh Mendis, concluding the over on a positive and impressive one.
