In the Ranji Trophy 2026 group stage match between Uttar Pradesh and Goa, Uttar Pradesh was bowled out for just 202 runs. Despite this defeat, left-handed batsman Rinku Singh showcased his fighting spirit by scoring his second consecutive century.
Match Summary
In the match held in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh’s batting lineup failed to perform as it did previously. The team was struggling at 137 for 9 wickets in the first innings and was eventually all out for 202 runs. Only Madhav Kaushik (not exceeding 45 runs) and Rinku Singh contributed significant runs in the top order.
Rinku Singh’s Century Innings
When the team was stuck at 137/9, Rinku Singh put on a 65-run partnership with number 11 batsman Vansh Chaudhary, taking the total to 202. During this, Rinku scored an unbeaten 118 runs off 186 balls. This was his second consecutive century this season; he had scored 112 runs in the previous match.

Rinku Singh’s Status and Future
Recently, Rinku Singh was not included in the India A or India T20 squads for the series against New Zealand, despite his impressive first-class record. Even after scoring consecutive centuries this season, he has yet to receive an opportunity in any Indian national team, and the doors to India A also appear closed.
