Rinku Singh once again proved why his name is being discussed everywhere in Indian cricket. After being selected late in India’s squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Rinku Singh took that confidence straight into domestic cricket and played a brilliant innings for Uttar Pradesh in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26.
