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.
