People were asking why we don’t criticize Rachin for 26* (23). Simply because after Ruturaj he played this freak hit on this deck, Rachin’s role was to keep this whole innings. He did pretty well. Logical batting.

Probably the best T20 entries in Rachin’s career so far. This is how you create a T20 Innings. Read the conditions. Read the situation. It’s not always bang bang or always tuk tuk.
