In the final of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath tossed the toss coin, which Meerut decided to bat first. On the basis of excellent bowling, Kashi Rudras stopped Meerut for 144 runs. Kashi Rudras won his second title by achieving the target in the 16th over, captain Karan Sharma played an explosive innings of 65 runs. In the absence of Rinku Singh, the command of Meerut was in the hands of Madhav Kaushik. Rinku has gone to the UAE for the Asia Cup, so he did not play in the final.

After winning the toss, the start of Meerut Maverix came out to bat first was very poor. Swastika was dismissed for zero on the first ball. The team suffered a second blow as Akshay Dubey (17). In the powerplay, the team got the third blow as captain Madhav Kaushik, who could only score 6 runs. Prashant Chaudhary played an important innings of 37 runs in 29 balls. Meerut reached 144 from the innings of Hrithik Vats (18) and Yash Garg (14).

Karan Sharma played captaincy innings

Chasing 145 runs, Kashi Rudras’s opening pair formed a century partnership. Abhishek Goswami and Karan Sharma added 108 runs. Karan Sharma was dismissed for 65 runs in 31 balls, in this innings he hit 2 sixes and 10 fours. After this, Abhishek Sharma’s bat went, he played a knot out of 61 runs in 45 balls. In this innings, he hit 1 six and 8 fours.

7 players of Meerut Maveryx bowled, but no one could disturb Abhishek Goswami or Karan Sharma. Meerut Maveryx could not save her title, she is the last year’s champion.

List of winners of UP T20 League

• 2025: Kashi Rudras
• 2024: Meerut Mavric
• 2023: Kashi Rudras

Kashi Rudras won the title of the first edition of UP T20, even then he defeated Meerut Mavrices in the final. After this, in 2024, Meerut defeated Kanpur and won his first title. For the third consecutive time, Meerut made it to the finals in 2025, but once again Kashi defeated him in the title match.

Rinku Singh is playing a different level of cricket after selection in the Asia Cup squad. He played a century in a stormy style of 108 runs in 48 balls against Gorakhpur Lions in the UP T20 League a few days ago. Now on Wednesday, he has scored 57 runs in 27 balls against the Lucknow Feelaqs for Meerut Mavers’. He played 3 fours and four sixes in this innings played at a strike rate of 211.

Rinku Singh came to batting when Meerut Mevrix lost the third wicket for 73 runs in the 10th over. From here, Rinku along with Rituraj Sharma added 94 runs in 49 balls. Thanks to this partnership, Meerut’s team reached beyond 200. After Rinku was dismissed, Hrithik Vats wreaked havoc and played a cameo of 35 runs in just 8 balls. Hrithik hit two fours and four sixes in 8 balls.

This great performance of Rinku must have been increasing the concern of team management before the Asia Cup 20025. It will be very difficult to prepare the best playing eleven in the Asia Cup for management. Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya seem to be confirmed in the top-5. The team cannot drop Akshar Patel, in such a situation only one batting slot remains empty, that too for the wicketkeeper. In such a situation, it will be very difficult to bring Rinku into the playing XI.

Rinku Singh is raining runs

In the UP T20 League 2025, Rinku Singh has so far scored 199 runs in five innings at an excellent average of 49.75, including a century innings. It is also worth noting that Rinku has a strike rate of 177 in the current season. Rinku is currently the third highest run -scorer for Meerut Mevrix in the season. Ahead of them are Swastik Chikara (223 runs) and Rituraj Sharma (209 runs).

Rinku Singh has flopped badly after a few hours of selection in Asia Cup 2025. Rinku has not been able to prove his selection right in the Asia Cup squad, as he has been dismissed for just 23 runs in the second match of UP T20 League 2025. On Tuesday, Meerut Mevrix faced Lucknow Flacs, in which the Meerut team scored 150 runs while playing first. The player Swastik, who scored the most runs for this team, was 32 runs.

Rinku Singh is captaining Meerut Mevrix, he came to bat on number-4 in the match against Lucknow Fee Splash. He scored 23 runs in 19 balls and in this innings he hit only 3 fours. He was bowled clean by Lucknow bowler Parvar Singh. Meerut scored 225 runs in the first match of the tournament, but Rinku Singh’s batting was not done in that match.

Rinku Singh flopped as a finisher

Rinku Singh scored just 206 runs in 11 innings for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025 and failed to finish the match on several occasions. Talking about international T20 cricket, Rinku has been able to score only 67 runs in the last 5 innings and the last T20 FIFTI came against Bangladesh in October 2024 with his bat. Rinku Singh would like to make a good impact for the Indian team in the Asia Cup by taking the status of a finisher, but his recent figures have not been very good.

Rinku Singh has so far scored 546 runs in his 33 -match T20 career, including 3 half -centuries and his strike rate is more than 161. It will be interesting to see what order Rinku Singh will get to bat in the Asia Cup squad equipped with big stars.
