In a video posted by iplt20.com, Rinku told Nitish that he had written 50 on his palm because he had a feeling that he will be the player of the match. “I was getting a feel that I will score runs and get Player of the Match today. And I wrote 50 runs on my hand,” he said.

“I was waiting for my opportunity for the last five years,” added the Aligarh-based player. Talking about what song the trio of Rinku, Nitish and Andre Russell has been grooving to lately. The 24-year-old revealed the song name which he constantly keeps humming. He said “Majhe Aale by AP Dhillon.”
