Batting first, Meerut Mavericks posted 181 for 7 in 20 overs. In reply, Kashi Rudras also scored 181 for 7. In the Super Over, Kashi Rudra plundered 16 runs. Meerut Mavericks, riding on Rinku Singh’s blitzkrieg romped home with two balls to spare.
The memory of his six-hitting remains, both fresh and sparkling. It shot him to overnight fame, but it could also mould into a burden. For every time he faces a ball, steams the hope of a six, and every time he does not hit one, there is a surge of disappointment. But Rinku, steeled life and the hardships that he endured to build a career, knows the fickleness of fanfare.
“These are two minutes of fame, yeh log joh aaj wah-wah kar rahe hai, wohi log kal gaali bhi denge, if I fail. (If I fail the same people will jeer me),” he had once told this newspaper.
