Rinku Singh Credits Coach and Captain for Aggressive Play in T20I Victory

Supportive Leadership

In a recent interview, Rinku Singh highlighted the pivotal role played by head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Suryakumar Yadav in shaping India’s aggressive strategy during the T20I series against Bangladesh. Singh emphasized that both have instilled a belief in their players to perform freely and confidently. “The coach and captain have asked us to play our game, and whatever the situation, the message from them is maarte jao ball ko (just keep hitting the ball),” Singh said.

Player Empowerment

This supportive environment, according to Singh, has given the team the confidence to express themselves on the field. He noted, “The coach has asked us to back ourselves and play our game. He has given us full freedom to hit the ball.” This approach has fostered a sense of ownership among the players, allowing them to take calculated risks during the match.

Strong Team Performance

India’s commanding 86-run victory over Bangladesh in the second T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium was a testament to this aggressive philosophy. Rinku Singh was instrumental in the win, scoring 53 runs off just 29 balls. His partnership with Nitish Kumar Reddy, who contributed 74 runs off 34 balls, proved crucial in helping India secure an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. With such performances, the team is looking strong as they head into the final match, bolstered by a clear strategy and strong performances.
