He has played 28 first-class matches, scoring 1,441 runs in 41 innings at an average of 37.92, with four centuries and five fifties.

UPT20 League: No Pressure Of Captaincy; We Are Built For Challenges, Says Meerut's Rinku Singh
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Meerut Mavericks captain Rinku Singh expressed sheer confidence in his squad's consistency and said they are expecting to perform well in the upcoming Season 4 of the UPT20 League. Our team has consistently performed brilliantly; we have played the finals for the last three seasons and won the title as well. There is no pressure of captaincy; we are built for challenges! My strategy is very straightforward: I tell every player in the team to give their 100% on the field without any pressure whenever they get a chance, Rinku Singh explained in the Captains' Meet, the official countdown to Uttar Pradeshs most prestigious cricketing event held in Lucknow on Thursday. League Chairman Dr. Sanjay Kapoor unveiled the blueprint and special initiatives for the upcoming season in the presence of the captains and representatives from all six franchise teams.

The star-studded event featured the leadership of all six franchises on stage, including Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Lucknow Falcons), Rinku Singh (Meerut Mavericks), Sameer Rizvi (Kanpur Superstars), Madhav Kaushik (Noida Kings), Aryan Juyal (Gorakhpur Lions), and Bhupendra Yadav (representing Kashi Rudras). Setting a deeply collaborative tone, Chairman Dr. Sanjay Kapoor addressed the media with a heartfelt message. This league does not belong to one individual, but to all of us. The media is a part of our family. Until you are completely satisfied, neither the soundbites will stop nor the photographs.

We will step onto the field creating a positive atmosphere to clinch the title this time. We conducted the Speed Hunt without charging any trial fees.

'Awarapan 2' leads 'Batwara 1947' by
Highlights Awarapan 2 has generated around 270,000 in gross advance bookings Batwara 1947 has recorded around 67,500 in day-one pre-sales Emraan Hashmis sequel has sold more than 100,000 tickets ahead of the Independence Day clash Emraan Hashmis Awarapan 2 is pulling away from Sunny Deols Batwara 1947 before the two films face off at the box office, with the sequel currently holding a fourfold lead in advance bookings. The latest figures show Awarapan 2 at around 270,000 in gross pre-sales, compared with approximately 67,500 for Batwara 1947 . The numbers give the sequel a strong early advantage ahead of the Independence Day weekend. More than 100,000 tickets already sold Awarapan 2 has sold approximately 102,470 tickets across 5,934 shows, with its potential gross rising to around 450,000 when blocked seats are included. Maharashtra is currently its biggest market, contributing roughly 94,000 to the gross bookings. Delhi follows at about 92,000, while Uttar Pradesh has recorded around 51,000. Gujarat stands at approximately 37,000 and West Bengal at 30,000. The early numbers suggest that the 2007 original's long-running popularity is translating into interest for the sequel. Awarapan developed a strong following over the years, giving the new film a built-in nostalgia factor ahead of its release. Directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 stars Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi.

The Independence Day clash is already taking shape The gap between the two releases is significant before either film reaches cinemas.
