Rinku Singh had to leave the field after sustaining a knee injury during the third T20I between India and Bangladesh at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.
The incident happened in the first part of Bangladesh’s first innings. On the first ball, Mayank Yadav dismissed Parvez Hossain Emo for a duck. In the second ball, Rinku Singh was injured while entering the field.
Mayank hit a long shot to Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and the latter edged the ball to the side. Rinku Singh then ran towards square leg to stop the ball but fell awkwardly on his knee as he attempted to slide.
He immediately looked in pain and looked confused before eventually deciding to leave the field. Commentator Murali Karthik confirmed that the batsman had left the field and was replaced by Tilak Varma.
