WATCH: Rinku Singh sets stage on fire with six hitting spree in UP T20

Rinku Singh, who has made a name for himself as one of the best finishers in India at the moment, has shown his capabilities yet again. In the ongoing UP T20 League, the middle-order batter powered his team, Meerut Maverick, to win against Kashi Rudras by hitting 3 sixes in a row in the super over of the match while chasing 17 runs in the deciding over!  

The Southpaw had shown his ability to win the match all by himself in the Indian Premier League 2023. In an over against Gujarat Titans, Rinku hit 5 sixes in a row in the over against Yash Dayal, which helped Kolkata Knight Riders win the match. The middle-order batter became a sensation after the feat and is regarded as one of the most exciting talents in Indian cricket.  

Recently, Singh got to make his debut for the Indian team against Ireland. In his very first match, the 25-year-old impressed everyone by scoring 38 runs in 21 balls in the second T20I. The talented youngster won the Man of the Match award on his debut in T20Is. Rinku has again impressed everyone with his consistent performances wherever he plays.   

Rinku Singh finishes the match for Meerut Maverick

In the UP T20 League, Meerut Maverick needed 17 runs in the super over to win the match against Kashi Rudras. Rinku managed to hit exactly three sixes in three consecutive deliveries against the left-arm off-spinner Shiva Singh and dragged his team to win. The crowd went crazy as Rinku finished yet another match and proved how good he can be as a finisher in T20s.   

In the first inning of the match though, the youngster was struggling to score runs. In his stay in the middle, Rinku scored 15 runs in 22 balls and did not bat well. The match ended in a tie, which was a blessing in disguise for the young talent. As the match progressed, Rinku Singh had his redemption, as he hit three sixes in a row in the super over.
