Rinku Singh has made a name for himself with his explosive brand of batting and that was once again in display during the Asian Games 2023 quarter-final match against Nepal on Tuesday. The left-handed batter came out to bat at No. 6 and ended up scoring 37 runs off just 15 deliveries with the help of 2 boundaries and 4 sixes. Rinku started his innings on a positive note and looked dangerous as he slammed sixes off Abinash Bohara and Rohit Paudel in consecutive overs. However, the true hard-hitting performance came in the final over of the Indian innings as Rinku Singh took on Nepal fast bowler Abinash Bohara and ended up slamming two boundaries and two sixes in the over.
