After the Meerut Mavericks team won the title in the UPT20 league under Rinku Singh's leadership, his name once again became a subject of discussion. The Meerut team demonstrated impressive play, securing a victory and capturing the trophy.
Former outstanding Indian national player Suresh Rana gave important advice to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) regarding Rinku Singh. According to Rana, KKR should no longer hesitate and should hand over the team's leadership to Rinku Singh.
As the KKR team searches for a new captain following Ajinkay Rahane's retirement, Rana believes that the franchise should trust Rinku and give him the opportunity to prove himself. In the 2026 IPL season, Rinku served as the team's vice-captain.
In the final match of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League, the Meerut Mavericks, led by Rinku Singh, performed brilliantly and achieved a convincing victory over the Lucknow Falcons, captained by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, by a margin of 94 runs. This one-sided victory allowed the Meerut Mavericks to win the championship title. Throughout the tournament, Meerut's dominance was evident, as the team won 9 out of 10 matches played.
In the final, although captain Rinku Singh could not show batting performance, the opening batsman Divyansh Joshi created a real storm of runs. Divyansh scored a fiery century in just 40 balls. Thanks to this aggressive play, the Meerut Mavericks managed to score an impressive total of 203 runs in the allotted 20 overs.
The Lucknow Falcons team, which came onto the field aiming to score a big 204 runs, proved helpless against the strong bowling of the Mavericks. Under pressure, the Lucknow team collapsed and was dismissed in only 16 overs, scoring only 109 runs. The bowlers of Meerut held down the Lucknow batsmen from the beginning, ensuring an unforgettable championship victory for the team.
Rinku, who joined KKR in 2018, has scored the most runs for the team in the current season. Rinku, who won a match in 2023 by hitting five consecutive sixes against Gujarat Titans, has now established himself not only as a match finisher but also as an excellent captain.
