WATCH: Rinku Singh’s blistering 27-ball 57 features hat-trick fours off star RCB bowler in UP Premier League 2025

Rinku Singh lit up the Uttar Pradesh Premier League 2025 with a blistering knock in Match 20 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. Leading the Meerut Mavericks, Rinku walked in at No. 5 and immediately took charge, smashing a six off just his second ball to signal his intent. He raced to 30 off just 16 deliveries, keeping the pressure firmly on the opposition bowlers.

The highlight of his innings came in the 15th over against senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. With immaculate timing and placement, Rinku struck three consecutive fours, showcasing his ability to dominate even the most experienced bowlers. He went on to complete a 25-ball half-century and eventually scored 57 off just 27 deliveries, laced with three fours and four towering sixes.

His fearless approach turned the momentum completely in his team’s favor. The Mavericks built on this platform to post a massive total, thanks also to strong contributions from other batters. Swastik Chikara smashed a quickfire 55 off 31 balls with four fours and as many sixes, while Rituraj Sharma anchored the innings brilliantly with an unbeaten 74 off 37 balls. Towards the end, Ritik Vats added finishing touches with a whirlwind 35 off just eight balls. Together, these efforts powered the Mavericks to a daunting 233.

Rinku Singh’s form a huge boost for Mavericks

Rinku Singh’s form has been nothing short of sensational in this tournament. Just a few days earlier, he slammed an unbeaten 108 off 48 balls against Gaur Gorakhpur Lions, an innings decorated with seven fours and eight sixes. That century had already caught the attention of selectors and fans alike, proving his ability to win games single-handedly. His latest 27-ball 57 only adds to his growing stature as one of the most impactful batters in the UP Premier League.

For the Meerut Mavericks, having a leader who can perform under pressure is invaluable. Rinku’s consistent big-hitting has given the side a psychological edge over rivals, as opposition teams know the damage he can inflict in a short span. His presence in the middle order has also allowed teammates like Swastik Chikara and Rituraj Sharma to play with freedom, making the Mavericks one of the most balanced and feared sides in the competition.
