Rinku Singh, the budding middle-order batsman, stepped onto the grand stage of ODI cricket with aspirations and dreams riding high. Having showcased his prowess in T20 encounters, Singh faced a different challenge in the 2nd ODI against South Africa.

As South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl, Singh found himself in the midst of a pivotal innings after the departure of KL Rahul. The middle-order maestro, known for his aggressive stroke play, sought to anchor the innings alongside Axar Patel. However, fate had other plans for Singh in the 37th over of the match.

Facing the spin of Keshav Maharaj, Singh's promising innings came to an abrupt halt. Despite Maharaj's earlier struggles with economy, Aiden Markram's trust in the spinner proved strategic. Singh, looking well-settled at the crease, succumbed to Maharaj's crafty delivery. The spinner tossed the ball temptingly outside off, luring Singh into a forward stride. The ball, however, drifted away, deceiving Singh's blade and finding a path to Heinrich Klaasen's gloves.

In a flash, Singh found himself stumped, his back leg dragged outside the crease as Klaasen efficiently dislodged the bails. Maharaj's exuberant celebration echoed the significance of the wicket. 

At the time of writing, India for 173 for 7 in 40 overs.
