Watch: Needing 17 To Win In Super Over, Rinku Smashes 3 Consecutive Sixes

Whenever the name Rinku Singh is heard by a cricket fan, the flashback of him hitting 5 consecutive sixes against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match comes to the fore. Playing for Kolkata Knight Riders, Rinku did the unthinkable as he came up against Yash Dayal in the last over of the match. Playing for Meerut, Rinku did something similar, but this time in a Super Over decider, hitting three consecutive sixes to win the match for his side.

Meerut Mavericks were up against Kashi Rudras in the UP T20 league, and it was Rinku who turned into a match-winner for his team. With 17 runs required off the one-over eliminator, Rinku smashed a hat-trick of sixes as he came up against left-arm spinner Shiva Singh. The first ball didn't see Rinku fetch a single run but the next three deliveries took UP across the line. Here's the video:

Rinku hit the second ball of the over for a six over the long off. The KKR star, who has now also made his international debut for India, then hit another maximum at deep mid-wicket. For the winner, Rinku finished the game with another six over long off.

Earlier, the two teams' scores were tied in 20 overs after both scored 181 runs each. In the same match, Rinku had failed to impress during the 20-over-per-side contest, scoring just 15 runs off 22 balls. Yet, the UP franchise decided to send him out in the Super Over, and it's fair to say he didn't disappoint.

Rinku, having made his India debut in the T20 format, will also be witnessed wearing the national team's colours in the Asia Games which will be held later this month.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...

Gardner Shines Again As GG Register Six-Wicket Win Over UPW In WPL 2025

Skipper Ashleigh Gardner starred with both bat and ball, leading Gujarat Giants to a comprehensive six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their Women's Premier League match in Vadodara on Sunday. Gardner (2/39) claimed two wickets and then scored a stylish 32-ball 52, her second consecutive fifty, as Gujarat registered their first win of the third edition of the tournament, following a loss in the opening game to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3. Skipper Gardner, Deandra Dottin (2/34), and Kashvee Gautam (1/15) also played key roles in restricting UPW to 143 for nine. Chasing 144 to win, the Giants were reduced to 22 for 2 with opener Beth Mooney and Dayalan Hemalata back in the pavilion after UPW introduced spin at both ends. However, Gardner produced an inspired knock, adding 55 runs off 42 balls with Laura Wolvaardt (22) to resurrect the innings. Gardner struck t...
