India are currently on 2-0 lead against Australia in the five match T20I series. The third match of the series between the teams will be played tomorrow (28th November) at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati.
India star batter Rinku Singh has been receiving a lot of praise for his commendable performances not only IPL 2023 but in the ongoing India vs Australia T20I series as well. Rinku, known for his blistering finishes in last overs, became the highlight of the match on Thursday by smashing a six on the last ball.
Notably, in the second match against Australia yesterday in Trivandrum, Rinku played a sensational innings of 31 run knock off 9 balls that powered the team to score 235 runs. Players like Suryakumar Yadav also compared Rinku with World Cup winning captain MS Dhoni who is also known for his last over finishes.
However, star commentator Harsha Bhogle portrays a different opinion on Rinku-Dhoni comparison. He believes that Rinku should not be compared with the former Indian captain and rather be spared from these connections.
“Been reading a few reports of Rinku Singh finishing like Dhoni. He is a wonderful talent who has worked very hard to reach here. But spare him the connection. Let the young man play his cricket with joy and freedom and revel in being Rinku,” says Bhogle.
