Despite his consistent performances in domestic cricket for Uttar Pradesh, he had to spend most of his time on the sidelines after being offered his first IPL contract by Punjab Kings in 2017. Even after breaking into professional cricket, Rinku's talent went unnoticed initially. However, Rinku's journey to cricketing stardom has not been an easy one, as he has had to battle poverty and a lack of support from his loved ones to pursue the sport he loves. This extraordinary feat showcased his power-hitting abilities and propelled him into the limelight. During a challenging chase of over 200 runs against Gujarat Titans, Rinku smashed five consecutive towering sixes off pacer Yash Dayal in the final over. While he had shown glimpses of his potential during the previous season with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022, it was a remarkable moment in IPL 2023 that catapulted him into the spotlight.
