Having been used sporadically in recent weeks, the spinner showed his calmness under pressure by producing his finest spell in a Worcestershire shirt after stand-in skipper Roderick threw the 21-year-old the ball in the final over.
It was senior figure and overseas talisman Usama Mir who helped the young spinner, offering some words of encouragement and tactical advice
Having sealed his team victory, the Rapids are in a very strong position to kick onto a knockout place, with Singh excited by the prospect of playing Gloucestershire in another heavyweight fixture on Friday night.
“Obviously here, there’s one smaller side, and there’s big wind. So managing your bowlers can be quite difficult but the way Roders did it worked really well.
“I guess that’s the beauty of T20 cricket, isn’t it? And I think after Usama had bowled four, he came over and said a few words to me, which really helped me.
“He basically just pretty much said bowl with your heart, look at the wicket, maybe bowl a bit slower because I bowled a bit quicker in my first over, and slower seemed to work better.
“I mean, the figures show that [bowling at one end worked better] but it didn’t really make a difference.
“I think the vibes and the morale is pretty high in the changing room right now. It’s a really good win and I’m really looking forward now to Friday against Gloucestershire at home.
“We know New Road. We know it well. We’ve gone really well there on a Friday night so far this year, so hopefully we can keep that form.”
