Rinku, who represents Uttar Pradesh, scored 112 against Bihar in his very first game of the Ranji Trophy 2026-27 season. He has followed it up with an unbeaten 118 against Goa. Rinku Singh continues to knock on the doors of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selectors with his impressive performances in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. The southpaw has been out of the national team since the Zimbabwe T20I series and was also ignored for the New Zealand tour. However, the batter has once again hogged the limelight by smashing two consecutive centuries in India’s premier domestic competition.
He found little support from the lower order but ensured his side crossed the 200-run mark before remaining unbeaten. Rinku then held the innings together as wickets continued to fall at the other end.
Check out some of the comments: Rinku’s unbeaten knock rescued Uttar Pradesh from a precarious position before Goa made a steady start to reach 43 without loss at stumps on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group A match in Kanpur on Sunday. Uttar Pradesh were in trouble early after Abhishek Goswami (5), Aryan Juyal (14) and Karan Sharma (0) departed cheaply, reducing the side to 33 for three. The fans on social media blasted the BCCI and questioned the selectors for ignoring the player.
