In a series of unexpected failures, India’s promising finisher Rinku Singh was dismissed off just 8 runs against South Africa in the 3rd T20I held at Centurion. Rinku failed to live up to the standards set in the IPL, which led to intense trolling from the fans on social media.

Team India had a great start batting first in the 3rd T20I against South Africa held at Centurion. Tilak Varma scored his maiden century to finish with 107* off 56 balls, whereas opener Abhishek Sharma also slammed 50 off 25 balls to steer India to a gigantic total of 219/6.

Rinku Singh underfire after failure in 3rd T20I

However, a couple of failures did catch the fans’ attention. Sanju Samson registered his second consecutive duck after scoring a century in the first game. On the other hand, celebrated finisher Rinku Singh was also dismissed off a single-digit score in another failure. A speedy yorker from Simelane cleaned up Rinku as he departed after scoring just 8 runs off 13 balls. 

Previously, Rinku Singh managed to score just 7 and 11 runs in the first two games of the T20I series against South Africa. The finisher was recently retained for INR 13 crores by KKR and is widely endorsed as the best finisher in India.

However, his repeated failures in international cricket have forced a rethink about the hype created around Rinku Singh. Following his failure in the third T20I, fans lashed out at Rinku on social media. Enraged fans questioned his ability to sustain himself in international cricket, whereas a few called him an IPL fraud. 





That being said, despite Rinku Singh and Hardik Pandya’s failures, India managed to post a challenging total of 219/6, thus putting South Africa under pressure. Tilak Varma starred with a sensational century, thus registering his career-high innings in the T20I format. Notably, the 4-game T20I series between India and South Africa is tied 1-1.
