    What's the story

    Rinku Singh has arrived in international cricket.

    The recently-concluded second T20I against Ireland saw the southpaw bat for the first time in Indian colors.

    He made the most of the opportunity and smoked a match-winning 21-ball 38.

    He hammered two boundaries and three maximums. Rinku received the Player-of-the-Match award for his breathtaking knock.

    Here we decode his numbers in death overs.

    Knock  

    Rinku's blitzes in the final two overs

    India lost momentum after they lost Ruturaj Gaikwad in the 16th over (129/4).

    However, Rinku and Shivam Dube then provided the much-needed impetus.

    The former slammed two sixes and a four in the 19th over as India garnered 42 runs in the final two overs.

    Rinku eventually fell prey to Mark Adair in the penultimate ball of the Indian innings.

    Stats 

    300-plus runs in death overs in 2023

    Rinku, who famously slammed five successive sixes in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match against Gujarat Titans, has been stellar in death overs this year.

    In overs between 16 and 20, the southpaw has smoked 308 runs at a remarkable strike rate of 190.12.

    He has smacked as many as 25 sixes in this phase in 2023. The tally includes 20 boundaries.

    The southpaw became just the third player, batting at number five or lower, to score 400 runs in an IPL season with a 50-plus average and 140-plus strike rate.

    He joined dashers Andre Russell (2019) and David Miller (2022) in this elite list.
