India batter Rinku Singh reached his fifty in the second T20I against Bangladesh on Wednesday (Oct 9) in an unusual style after his mishit went for six behind the wicketkeeper. Rinku reached the fifty on the last ball of 16th over as India recovered after losing three wickets inside the powerplay.

The ball from Tanzim Hasan was a full toss which Rinku wanted to put towards mid-wicket but aleading edge sent the ball flying over the keeper for a six near third man boundary. Have a look at the video below:
