Singh became a household name in India through his blitz in the IPL 2023 season, where he registered arguably the greatest-ever finish in a T20 match. Singh left the viewers stunned when he smashed 5 consecutive sixes in the last over to emerge as the new hero of KKR in the IPL. While the league was different this time, his heroics made the same echo.

Rinku Singh does it again

In a partial repeat of the profound 5 sixes needed of 5 balls, this time the requirement was a notch less but equally daunting. Playing for Meerut Mavericks in the UP T20 League, Rinku Singh had to make 17 runs in the super over to see his side go past the score of Kashi Rudras. And guess what, the left-hander did it again. He cleared the fence 3 consecutive times to take Meerut through the threshold of victory.

While in the IPL it was Gujrat Titans' Yash Dayal, who became the victim, here in the UP T20 league it was the left-arm spinner, Shiva Singh. Meerut Mavericks won the match with two balls to spare. Here's a spectacle of the clean hitting from the bat of Rinku Singh.
