In the fourth T20I between India and New Zealand in Vizag, Rinku stole the spotlight as the ball followed him everywhere and he was a magnet. New Zealand were put into bat first by India and they started really well with both openers Devon Conway and Tim Seifert going all guns blazing. New Zealand scored 71/0 in the powerplay as Seifert blazed his way to 46 of just 21 an Conway was on 24. They kept going after powerplay and lost the first wicket on 94 in the ninth over when Conway was dismissed for 44 by Kuldeep. He gave a catch to Rinku Singh in the deep and this was the first of his night.
But Tim Seifert kept going as he completed a 25 ball half century. Rachin Ravindra departed cheaply but Phillips joined Seifert to keep the tempo going. New Zealand were 126/2 at the end of 12 overs with some superb batting. Arshdeep Singh returned to the attack as Tim Seifert slapped a ball straight to Rinku Singh at long-off. Rinku once again completed his second catch of the night with ease. Let us look at how Twitter reacted.

The ball kept following Rinku Singh as Glenn Phillips gave him a catch off Kuldeep Yadav as New Zealand were reduced to 139/4 in 14 overs. It was a stunning catch as the commentators thought it was going for six before Rinku came in and pouched the ball. Rinku Singh took his fourth catch when Zak Foulkes gave him a catch at long on as Arshdeep scalped his second wicket.

With this catch, Rinku Singh became the second Indian outfielder to take four catches in a match after Ajinkya Rahane who achieved it back in 2014. Twitter was in full praise of Rinku Singh as the ball kept following him and he was safe as magnet on the field tonight. Rinku also saved plenty of runs as he kept running and making those saves in the boundary.

New Zealand reached a total of 215 at the half way mark on the back of an excellent cameo from Daryl Mitchell. It is an above par total and India have lost two wickets early. India are currently leading the series 3-0.
