Yadav commended Singh’s composure and patience, stating, “Rinku showed great discipline and remained calm. In the last match, when Rinku came to bat, we needed 42 runs from about 20 balls. He didn’t succumb to pressure and played openly. In today’s match, he had two overs, and we were hoping to reach 220-225 runs, but his innings took us to 235.”
