Rinku Singh’s story has a lot of hardships, rejection, dejection and heart-break and eventual success. In between, it also involves injury scares and a three-month suspension by the BCCI in 2019 for playing in a T20 tournament in Abu Dhabi. Rinku survived all those setbacks, scored a pile of runs for Uttar Pradesh at the domestic level and slowly and steadily achieved success.
The left-hander said that the last five years have been challenging, but he didn’t lose self-belief. The batter from Aligarh said that his father did not eat for 2-3 days when he heard about his injury. “I wasn’t happy staying away from cricket for so long. My father didn’t eat for 2-3 days. I told him it’s just an injury and it’s part of cricket. I’m the sole breadwinner of my life and when such things happen, it is bound to be worrisome,” Singh said on KKR’s Facebook page.
