Having said that, who can forget Aligarh-based Rinku Singh’s astounding finish, in which he simultaneously hit five sixes to wrest victory from the jaws of defeat? The outstanding bowling performance of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) opened the door for the Uttar Pradesh batter to be chosen for both the upcoming Asian Games and Team India’s T20I trip to Ireland.
Being a fan, one specific knock always springs to mind when you consider some outstanding performances across various T20 leagues across the country. This knock helped young players trust in their abilities despite not having the best tools at their disposal.
Since then, the UP Player has attracted tremendous national attention, leading to his selection as a marquee player in the recently established UP T20 League. In a similar spirit, Rinku Singh has once again made news for his flawless finishing skills. Rinku Singh, who is a player for the Meerut Mavericks in the present UP T20 2023 League, took all the pressure and hammered three straight sixes for an exhilarating Super Over result.

In the UP T20 match, Meerut and the Kashi Rudras faced off against each other. With Madhav Kaushik’s blitzkrieg (87* off 52 balls), the Mavericks were able to win the toss and post a huge total of 181/4. In response, Kashi’s top-order batsmen, Karan Sharma (58 off 44 balls) and Shivam Bansal (57 off 41 balls), laid up a strong foundation with their 113-run stand for the second wicket to almost pull off the dramatic run chase despite losing an early wicket. The Meerut bowlers, on the other hand, had different ideas and stopped the Rudras from forcing a Super Over conflict.
In the Super Over, Rinku Singh scored 18 runs against Kashi Rudras for the Meerut Mavericks.
In the tie-breaker phase, the Kashi Rudras were able to set a goal for the Meerut Mavericks by scoring a respectable 16 runs while batting first. The Mavericks asked Rinku Singh to go out and complete the task for the club because of his reputation for having a cool head and exceptional finishing abilities. Amazingly, the batter for Aligarh took control of the situation and calmly began with a dot ball.
After that, it was “Rinku Singh” time as the southpaw destroyed Shiva Singh, a left-arm spinner, with a spectacular six over long off in the second delivery of the over. Rinku again unleashed his ballistic shot through deep mid-wicket on the ensuing delivery, and he finished the game with another thunderous six over long off.
