Rinku Singh sent a strong message to Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav and head coach Gautam Gambhir ahead of the Asia Cup 2025 with a blistering hundred in the ongoing UP T20 League at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Leading Meerut Mavericks from the front, captain Rinku slammed eight sixes for his 48-ball 108 not out in his side’ six-wicket win over Gaur Gorakhapur Lions.
Chasing 168 runs, Meerut Mavericks were four wickets down for just 38 runs in the eighth over. Unleashing a brutal assault on the Gaur Gorakhapur Lions bowlers, Rinku first raced to his fifty in just 32 balls before taking another 13 deliveries for his next fifty runs at a strike rate of 225 to lead Meerut Mavericks to victory with seven balls to spare.
The highlight of Rinku’s innings came in the penultimate over when he smashed Gorakhpur Lions bowler Vasu Vats for three consecutive sixes, thus recalling memories of his five sixes in an over for Kolkata Knight Riders against Gujarat Titans’ Yash Dayal in 2023 season of IPL.
