The Journey Of Rinku Singh
Rinku hit 5 consecutive sixes in the remaining 5 balls and snatched the victory from the face of Gujarat. Rinku’s name is echoing everywhere. He remained unbeaten after hitting 48 runs in 21 balls. Explosive batsman Rinku has become the hero of KKR today, but there was a time in his life when he was banned. Not only this, once he also got the idea of doing cleaning work to help his family financially.
Talking about Rinku’s initial struggle, his father used to distribute cylinders. He spent his childhood in a 2-room house. Not only this, he also got the idea of doing cleaning work to help the family financially, but then he left everything and focused on his game. Playing in Uttar Pradesh’s Under 16, Under 19, Under 23, Central Zone, he reached the Ranji Trophy and entered the IPL in 2017. In 2018, he moved from Punjab to Kolkata.
Kolkata bought him for 80 lakh rupees. His journey was on the right track. But then, his hopes broke down. BCCI banned him for 3 months because in 2019, without taking permission, he had gone to play in the Abu Dhabi T20 tournament. But after his return, he took his game more seriously and today he showed the entire world his caliber.
