Young sensation Rinku Singh, who is waiting for a place in the Indian team, is knocking on the door of the BCCI selectors with his performance. After losing his place in the national team, he is scoring a flood of runs in domestic cricket. He made a grand comeback by scoring his second consecutive century in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2026-27 season. He fought alone in the match against Goa and supported the team with a magnificent century.

This incident took place in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group-A match against Goa that started in Kanpur yesterday. Uttar Pradesh, who won the toss and elected to bat, fell into deep trouble after losing 3 wickets for just 33 runs. Openers Abhishek Goswami (5), Aryan Jewel (14), and captain Karan Sharma (0) failed miserably. Rinku Singh, who came to the crease at this critical time, showed excellent fighting spirit.

On the one hand, wickets were falling, on the other hand, he stood firm and built the innings. He played patiently, unlike his natural style, and led the team's score forward. He scored 118 runs with 11 fours and 2 sixes in his unbeaten innings. With his fight, the Uttar Pradesh team was able to score a respectable score of 202 runs in 71 overs. It is noteworthy that Rinku (112) also scored a century against Bihar this season.

Recently, Rinku was dropped from the national team after the Zimbabwe series. Then he was not selected for the New Zealand tour. In this context, as he has been in a state of flux with consecutive centuries in the domestic tournament, fans are questioning the selectors' approach on social media. They are expressing anger as to why a player who is playing so consistently is being ignored.

As for the match, among the Goa bowlers, leg-spinner Yash Kaswankar took 5 wickets for 86 runs to defeat Uttar Pradesh. After that, Goa, which started the first innings, scored 43 runs without losing a wicket at the end of the first day's play. Currently, Shivendra Bhujbal (31 not out) and Suyash Prabhu Desai (12 not out) are at the crease. Goa is still 159 runs behind.
