Rinku, who led Meerut Mavericks to the UPT20 League title earlier this year, is keen to make the most of this opportunity.

He scored 210 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 161.54 largely as a finisher in the tournament.

“It was a big opportunity for me to lead Meerut Mavericks in the UPT20 League, and I am happy that I could deliver,” Rinku said.
