Rinku Singh ignores Fazalhaq Farooqi:
Rinku Singh has won over fans not only with his batting but also with his mannerisms. The fans love his honest and straightforward answers in interviews. And recently, the fans also praised him for the way he handled himself during the second T20I against Afghanistan in Indore.
The incident took place in the 16th over of India’s innings when Rinku Singh was standing at the non-striker’s end and Fazalhaq Farooqi was bowling to Shivam Dube. After Dube hit the ball towards mid-off, he set off for a single before changing his mind. Rinku had also left his crease for the run before returning.
As Rinku was making his way to the crease, Farooqi came in his way. The Indian batsman pushed the bowler slightly to get back inside the crease, prompting Farooqi to retaliate with a shove to his back. Undeterred by the altercation, Rinku calmly walked to the other side of the stumps. Farooqi was not impressed by Rinku’s attitude and wanted to address the issue with him but the Indian batsman showed no interest in engaging with him.
