Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021-22: Best XI of the tournament

6. Rinku Singh (Uttar Pradesh)

Rinku Singh ended his VHT journey this year as the leading run-scorer for Uttar Pradesh. He made 379 runs in seven matches at an average of 94.75 and a strike rate of 89.17. Rinku hit one century and four half-centuries in the tournament.

The 24-year-old’s highest score came against Jharkhand in a group match. He made 104 runs off 98 deliveries and helped the team post a total of 239 runs in 50 overs. Unfortunately, his innings was not enough as Jharkhand won the match by eight wickets.

Rinku joined KKR in 2017 when the team picked him for INR 80 lakhs. He made 77 runs for the franchise in 11 matches and was released this year. With the addition of two new teams and one being from his own state, his chances of getting another run in the cash-rich league have increased.
