When asked about the secret behind his 100-meter-long six, Rinku humbly revealed, "There is nothing secret. Nothing much, I am usually in the gym with you. I eat good food. I like lifting weights so I naturally have a lot of power."

"I've been playing for a long time, been playing in the IPL for 5-6 years. So I have that confidence and I back myself to remain as calm as possible," he added,
Grateful for Rinku's calming influence during their partnership, Jitesh thanked him for keeping the atmosphere relaxed on the wicket. Rinku's combination of natural power, dedication to fitness, and experience in high-pressure situations makes him a promising talent for Indian cricket.
