Lalrinzuala Lalbiaknia

Lalrinzuala Lalbiaknia (born 15 September 2000), commonly known by the nickname Rinzuala, is an Indian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Aizawl in the I-League.

Youth career
Rinzuala played in the Subroto Cup, before being scouted by Bengaluru FC, which he represented at the U-16 and U-18 levels. He suffered an ACL injury in 2018, that kept him away of the game for 11 months.

Subsequently, he played three seasons for Gokulam Kerala reserves before returning home in 2022 to play for Chhinga Veng, that competed in the Mizoram Premier League. He recalled that it "was a decision that I felt I had to take" and that he "needed to come back home and start afresh".

2023–24 season
On 13 June 2023, I-League club Aizawl secured the services of Rinzuala, on a two-year deal. On 29 October, he made his debut for the club in the 2023–24 I-League campaign against Mohammedan SC, in a 2-1 away loss. On 14 November, Rinzuala scored three goals in a 1–3 win over NEROCA, which was his first professional hat-trick. On 28 March, Rinzuala netted twice in a 4–0 win over Churchill Brothers. In this process, he broke the record for most goals scored by an Indian footballer in a single season of the I-League, with 14 goals, overtaking Sunil Chhetri and Mohammed Rafi.

Personal life
Rinzuala was born in the streets of Serchhip, a town in his home state of Mizoram. His father, who was a driver, passed away in 2016, before his elder brother died in an accident the following year. His mother started a chicken farm after that, which sustained his family since.
