A pure carnage. Days after placing himself in the Asia Cup 2025 squad, Rinku Singh showed his true colors in the UP T20 league. For the Meerut Mavericks, Rinku played a breathtaking innings of 108 unbeaten runs against 48 deliveries. To create these innings, the middle-order batter smashed 8 over boundaries and 7 boundaries.

When he successfully accomplished the business, the strike rate was ticking at 225.00. To mark the occasion, Kolkata Knight Riders shared a short video to depict Rinku's ruthless batting, which took Mavericks safely to the finish line against Gorakhpur Lions. Gorakhpur bowlers were doing well to defend their first innings 167 runs by clinching 4 top-order wickets of Meerut. When Rinku stepped into the crease, their team was four down for only 38 runs. From there, the batter started carnage all over the ground.

Opponent team bowlers, who were looking at the top of their game, started to feel the pressure and made repeated mistakes. Whenever Rinku spotted a ball on the off stump or on the middle stump area, he did not hesitate to swing his blade.

'The one and only Rinku Singh'

Bowlers of Gorakhpur Lions, under pressure, produced some well-wide-off-the-stump deliveries, which allowed Singh to open his arms. With the help of the hundred, Rinku is now at the fourth spot of the leading run scorers of the ongoing UP T20 League with 131 runs in 3 innings. And his team, Meerut Mavericks, is in the second position with 2 wins and one loss in 3 matches.

Kolkata Knight Riders, in their video, wrote, "Chasing a target of 168, Rinku walks in at 38-4. Scores unbeaten 108 off 48. Wins the game in the 19th over. The One. The Only. RINKU SINGH!" as the caption.
