Rinku Singh Sets New Record with Four Catches in T20I
Rinku Singh, an Indian cricket player, made a special record in a T20I match against New Zealand.
He caught the ball four times, which is the most ever by a player who is not the wicket-keeper in India.
This broke the old record of three catches held by Virat Kohli.
Rinku also matched a Pakistani player, Saim Ayub, who did the same thing in New Zealand.
Rinku was very good in the field, catching high balls and jumping to catch them.
He also scored 39 runs with the bat, but India still lost the match.
Rinku has taken the most catches per innings in T20Is among players with more than 20 catches, which is a big deal.
Rinku Singh took four catches in a T20I match against New Zealand, setting a new record for most catches by a non-wicket-keeper on Indian soil.
He broke Virat Kohli's previous record of three catches and equaled Pakistan's Saim Ayub's record.
Rinku's catches helped dismiss key New Zealand players like Glenn Phillips, Devon Conway, Tim Seifert, and Zakary Foulkes.
Despite his fielding brilliance and 39 runs, India lost the match by 50 runs.
Rinku has the highest catch per innings ratio in T20Is among players with more than 20 catches.
