"My Father Struggled A Lot": Rinku Singh's Heartwarming Message After KKR Heroics in IPL 2023

"My Father Struggled A Lot": Rinku Singh's Heartwarming Message After KKR Heroics in IPL 2023

Rinku Singh slammed five sixes in five deliveries as Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023.

For Kolkata Knight Riders' Rinku Singh, the road to success has been a long and arduous one but never did he flinch or give up, and added a glorious chapter to the IPL story by doing the unthinkable here on Sunday. Not even the world's best batters would have backed themselves to hit five consecutive sixes with their team requiring 28 from the last five balls, but KKR's left-handed Rinku did exactly that, producing a terrific knock that will be remembered and talked about for years. Rinku's 48 not out from 21 balls included six sixes and one four, with KKR nailing down a 200-plus chase in dying moments in the game. It was perhaps the most unlikely yet a sensational victory in IPL history, against the rampaging Gujarat Titans for whom their stand-in captain Rashid Khan had almost sealed the deal with the first hat-trick of this season.

While Rinku's story will also feature among the 'rags to riches' story with the cricketer now having a contract worth Rs 55 lakh with KKR, it is extraordinary because what transpired on Sunday evening was the culmination of all the hard work put in by the 25-year-old and the unwavering faith and support from the KKR franchise.

Hailing from Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, Rinku comes from a lower-middle-class family. His father delivered LPG cylinders while in the 2015-16 season when they had a debt of Rs 5 lakh, Rinku, while playing for the UP under-19 side, began saving from his daily allowance and even took up the job of a domestic worker where he would have been required to sweep and mop.

"My father struggled a lot, I come from a farmer's family. Every ball that I hit out of the ground was dedicated to the people who sacrificed so much for me," Rinku said after his match-winning knock.

One of the earliest products of the KKR academy, Rinku has worked extensively with the team's assistant coach Abhishek Nayar and the results were there in Ranji Trophy as well.
