Rinku recently led the Meerut Mavericks to the title in the 2026 edition of the UPT20, Uttar Pradesh’s franchise-based tournament. This came after he guided the team to the final in 2025. Rinku, who is not very fluent in English, was invited onto the court and interviewed by the match host. Since all the questions were asked in English, he found it difficult to respond but ended up creating a wholesome and memorable moment. Host: Are you enjoying the game so far? With KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket, several former cricketers have backed Rinku as a potential successor to lead the franchise. Meanwhile, Rinku’s last appearance for India came in July, when he was part of the T20I squad for the series against Zimbabwe.
