Rinku Singh Praised Among World’s Top Five Finishers
Rinku Singh is the captain of the Meerut Mavericks cricket team.
His teammate Kartik Tyagi says Rinku is one of the best batters in the world at finishing matches.
In a recent game, Meerut needed many runs quickly against the Lucknow Falcons.
Rain threatened to stop the match, so Rinku attacked the bowling.
He scored 26 runs in one over and finished with 55 runs from 24 balls.
The rain stopped the game, but Meerut had enough runs under the DLS rules to win.
Tyagi says Rinku gives the team confidence and encourages them to dominate opponents.
Meerut have won all three of their matches and are the only unbeaten team in the tournament.
Kartik Tyagi rated Rinku Singh among the world's top five finishers.
Rinku hit an unbeaten 55 off 24 balls against Lucknow Falcons.
His 26-run over helped Meerut secure a DLS victory at 154/6.
Rinku has scored 702 runs in 48 T20 internationals at a strike rate of 156.
