IND VS SA 1st T20: Rinku further said, ‘I enjoyed the first session a lot because the weather was good. It was a pleasant feeling to get a chance to play with Rahul Dravid sir. He told me to keep batting in my own style and have confidence in myself. I have been playing at number five or six for Uttar Pradesh since 2013, so I am used to it. It is difficult to play in this order after four or five wickets have fallen, but I have confidence in myself. The more patience I play, the better I will be able to play.
