Rinku Singh hit a winning six in the first match of the five-match T20 series between India and Australia in Visakhapatnam. You all must have seen this, but it is not true. Rinku Singh’s account won’t be credited with six winnings, you should know the reason behind it. India beat Australia by 2 wickets in the first T20 match to take a 1-0 lead in the series. More than 400 runs were scored in both innings in this match.
The Indian team needed one run off the last ball to reach the target of 209 runs against Australia. Team India scored 208 runs in 19.5 overs. Rinku Singh was at the crease and Sean Abbott was in front of him. Sean Abbott bowled and Rinku Singh hit it for a six. India’s victory was assured and everyone thought that the winning shot came from Rinku Singh’s bat, but Team India had won before that.
Indeed, the last ball of the innings bowled by Sean Abbott was a no ball. If you had watched the match live, you would have heard that as the sixes were hit and India celebrated their victory, the hooter sounded for a no ball. The third umpire called this ball a no ball. In such a situation, Team India won by one run with a single no ball. This was the reason why this six would neither be added to Rinku Singh’s tally nor to Team India’s tally.
If we look at the scoreboard, Team India scored 209 runs in 19.5 overs and thus Team India won. Rinku Singh remained unbeaten scoring 22 runs off 14 balls. India won this match by 2 wickets. From India, Suryakumar Yadav scored 80 runs off 42 balls and Ishan Kishan scored 58 runs off 39 balls. Australia scored 208 runs for the loss of 3 wickets on the back of Josh English’s century and Steve Smith’s half-century.
