Talking about the catch after the game, Rinku expressed that he felt good and added that he had never dropped a catch off Arshdeep Singh's bowling.

Teasing Rinku on his answer, Jitesh Sharma said that he never dropped Arshdeep's catch because he was scared that anything could happen after they left the ground.

Rinku Singh then came up with a hilarious response. He said:

"Yes you can even get scolded so you have to take the catch."

In the same conversation, Rinku also appreciated Arshdeep Singh for sticking to the plans he had given the pacer.

"So thanks to Rinku, he told me to stick to the plan and I kept bowling wide yorkers," Arshdeep cheekily responded.

Talking about his performance in the Super Over, the 26-year-old quick expressed that he tried to adapt to every situation, be it bowling with the new ball or old ball, in the first innings or the second innings. He also credited his bowling partners over time, such as Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya, for helping him pick wickets by creating pressure from one end.
