Since the conclusion of the T20 World Cup, Rinku has become a regular in the format but has yet to earn a spot in the ODI format.
Rinku has featured in two ODIs for India and holds pretty impressive List-A numbers. The southpaw has garnered 1,899 runs in 52 innings, averaging 48.69 while striking at 94.8. His excellent numbers include one hundred and 17 half-centuries.
In 33 T201 matches and 24 innings, Rinku has scored 546 runs at an average of 42.00 and a strike rate of 161.06, with three half-centuries. He's yet to smash his maiden T201 century. The 27-year-old made his T201 debut against Ireland in 2023.
Rinku has been one of the main players for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has played 59 matches in the T20 tournament and scored 1099 runs at a strike rate of 145.20. He slammed four half-centuries in the cash-rich tournament.

Tarak Mehta producer Asit Modi touches Disha Vakani's feet, celebrates Raksha Bandhan with OG Dayaben's family. Watch
Actress Disha Vakani, who played the iconic role of Dayaben Gada on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, left a huge void on the show when she left it eight years ago. Until now, the show's producer, Asit Kumar Modi, has not been able to cast a suitable replacement for the actress. While Disha is long gone from the show, she was recently seen celebrating Raksha Bandhan with Asit Modi. The producer shared a video of the same on social media. Their video went viral soon, and many fans demanded the OG Dayaben to get back on the show soon. Also Read: Dilip Joshi says he misses Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah co-star Disha Vakani a lot: 'Our chemistry was quite good from day one' A post shared by Asit Kumarr Modi (@officialasitkumarrmodi) Reacting to the video, a fan wrote, 'Missing her presence in new episodes and seeing her after a long time.' Another fan said, 'Daya bhabhi come soon sabhi ko aap intezaar hai.' A third fan wrote, 'She looks so sweet as always. Vapis ane ke liye bola ki nahi.. just tell her so many people miss her a lot.' Earlier in several interviews and events, Asit Modi has often called Disha Vakani his sister and expressed his sincere wish to have her back on the show. During the 17-year celebration of the show also Asit Modi had said that it is very difficult to cast a new Dayaben because of the benchmark Disha has set. He had said, 'Of course, Dayaben not being there is a huge challenge. Disha set a benchmark for that character with the way she has performed. Finding someone like her is very difficult. I don't know what is God's will, but I hope to find someone soon and bring Dayaben back. I sincerely wish for Disha to return, but due to personal reasons, she cannot. I have been telling the audience time and again that we will bring Daya, but issues keep arising. Finding a good replacement is also tough because a very strong image of hers is etched in people's minds. But I shall soon overcome this challenge with your love and support.' Disha Vakani had quit the show in 2017 when she was about to deliver her first child. After that, Disha went on to become a mother for the second time and has not returned to the show since.

After Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaarji 3, Fawad Khan-Vaani Kapoor's Abir Gulaal to release worldwide, likely to skip India: Report
After months of delay, Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor's film Abir Gulaal is set for a worldwide release but will likely skip India. According to Biz Asia, the film — now officially titled Aabir Gulaal — will have its world premiere on August 29. The report does not mention any details about its India release, making it likely that the film will bypass Indian cinemas. The decision to skip Abir Gulaal's India release comes soon after Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3 also bypassed Indian cinemas. That film starred Pakistani actor Hania Aamir alongside Diljit and faced backlash in India. The makers opted for a worldwide release, skipping India, and the film went on to become a box office hit overseas, emerging as the highest-grossing Punjabi film worldwide, eclipsing Jatt and Juliet 3. It also broke box office records for opening day and weekend collections for an Indian film. It appears the makers of Vaani and Fawad's film are hoping to replicate Sardaar Ji 3's success. Earlier, Vaani Kapoor had defended the overseas release of Sardaar Ji 3. She said, 'I am assuming his film was shot before the atrocious attack, and I am assuming, as a producer, his money must have been stuck. I guess some 100 technicians were involved in making the film. The situation was different when the film was shot. I don't think he was meaning to disrespect the nation. He is a global star… He is looked up to globally. He has taken measures as per whatever he thought was suitable to him. But I don't think any laws have been broken, right?' Despite ongoing speculation, the makers of Abir Gulaal have yet to give a final confirmation on the film's release plans.
