NEW DELHI: India's commanding 86-run victory over Bangladesh in the second T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday was built on a strong performance by Rinku Singh and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Singh scored 53 off 29 balls and formed a crucial partnership with Nitish (74 off 34 balls), helping India take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Rinku Singh credited head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Suryakumar Yadav for supporting an aggressive approach. "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. "The coach has asked us to back ourselves and play our game. He has given us full freedom to hit the ball."
