The hosts required just 9 runs off the last two overs with six wickets in hand, but the game took an unexpected turn when captain <!-- -->Suryakumar Yadav<!-- --> made a surprising decision.<br \/>With Mohammed Siraj still having an over left and Shivam Dube yet to bowl, Suryakumar handed the ball to <!-- -->Rinku Singh<!-- -->, a player who had never bowled in his 23-match T20I career. This bold move on a spin-friendly track turned out to be a masterstroke.<\/p>\n<p>Following the win, Suryakumar explained his decision in an interview with Sony Sports. &#8220;The decision for the 20th over was easy; the difficult part was for the 19th over. Siraj and a few others had their overs left. But I felt Rinku was better suited for that wicket because I have seen him bowling and I made him practice a lot at the nets. I felt it was right and that is why I took that call,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Rinku Singh\u2019s entry into the bowling attack initially raised eyebrows, but he soon justified his captain\u2019s faith. His first delivery was a dot ball, with <!-- -->Kusal Perera<!-- --> missing an attempted reverse-slog. On the second ball, Rinku bowled a short-of-a-length delivery that Perera mistimed, resulting in a top edge. Rinku moved swiftly towards the off-side to complete a caught-and-bowled dismissal, claiming his maiden T20I wicket. <br \/>Rinku\u2019s over didn\u2019t stop there. On the final delivery, he dismissed Ramesh Mendis, ending the over with remarkable figures of 2 for 3. His two wickets and three runs conceded drastically altered the equation, leaving Sri Lanka needing six runs off the final over.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I knew the 19th over has always been difficult for Indian cricket (laughs). That is why I gave the responsibility to Rinku. For a right-hander bowling to a left-hander, it is always difficult for the batter. It was great that he made the best use of his skill and made my work easy because now I have one more bowling option going forward,&#8221; he explained.<br \/>Suryakumar took it upon himself to bowl the last over. Displaying nerves of steel, Suryakumar managed to restrict the hosts and push the game into a <!-- -->Super Over<!-- -->. <\/p>\n<p>India emerged victorious in the Super Over, securing a thrilling win that will be remembered for Rinku Singh&#8217;s unexpected heroics and Suryakumar Yadav&#8217;s bold captaincy. This match will be etched in memory not just for the victory, but for the strategic brilliance that made it possible.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
