Rinku proved his captaincy by leading the Meerut Mavericks to the UPT20 League title victory at an important time when the Kolkata Knight Riders are searching for a new captain. Earlier, Ameesha Patel shut down Hardik Pandya dating rumours with savage reply.
Yet, Meerut Mavericks managed to post a huge total of 203/7, thanks to opener Divyansh Joshi’s match-winning knock of 105 runs from just 40 balls. Chasing the huge target of 204 runs, the Bhuvneshwar Kumar-led Lucknow Falcons were bowled out for only 109 in 16 overs.
