After impressing with his batting, Rinku Singh entered the list of most catches in a T20I innings by taking four stellar catches in the IND vs NZ 4th T20I. In the process, he equalled Indian batter Ajinkya Rahane for the joint-highest catches by an Indian outfielder in a T20I innings.
Rinku Singh started with a safe catch at deep cover to dismiss Kiwi opener Devon Conway and break a 100-run opening stand. Rinku then contributed for the wicket of other opener Tim Seifert too, who was also looking in explosive touch.
Rinku’s best efforts came to dismiss Glenn Phillips and Zakary Foulkes, one running towards left while he took the other going backwards.
