In addition to leading the team as captain, Rinku helped Meerut win eight of the ten games they played in the competition.

Although Rinku Singh was disappointed not to be selected for the opening game, he was overjoyed to be called up later.

The Times of India cited Rinku Singh as stating, “I feel even more excited today because I am here to represent India B in the prestigious Duleep Trophy.”

“It is my responsibility to work hard, so I’m thrilled to have been called for the Duleep Trophy.” I wasn’t chosen when the teams were first revealed. I was discouraged as it is my duty to put in the effort that I am now doing.

In the meantime, India B won the competition’s opening match against A by a score of 76 runs. Musheer Khan was also selected Player of the Match, demonstrating that his 181 runs in the first innings proved to be the difference. Sarfaraz Khan scored 46 runs and Rishabh Pant struck 61 in the second half. Navdeep Saini and Khaleel Ahmed were really excellent with the ball.
