Against a backdrop of applause and applause in Singh’s hometown of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, it was an emotional moment for his family members.
“Though my ‘Big B’ is a good batsman, but in a situation where 29 runs were required in the last over, we never thought he would do that. It’s Bholenath’s grace, parents’ blessings and Bhaiya’s hard work The one who made this possible. We are proud of him and we also miss him,” said Jitu Singh, younger brother of Rinku Singh, controlling his emotions.
On Sundays, Jeetu says, there were non-stop prayers at his house, conducted by the female members of the family, who preferred to watch the match with male members, including their fathers and brothers.
He said, ‘I had made it clear that I would love to watch the match and watch Bhaiya play. However, little did I know at that time that this match would turn out to be a historic match not only for Bhai but also for his family members, friends and fans.
Jeetu and other family members give full credit to Rinku saying that it is the result of her hard work and dedication.

“I still remember Bhai’s tough routine, waking up early in the morning, running, gymming, exercising, dieting etc. He is my idol,” he said.
Not only for Jeetu, Rinku, who remained unbeaten and scored 48 off 21 balls, is also a role model for many today. But, making batter from two-room quarters in the premises of the LPG distribution center where his father works is like the script of any other Bollywood movie.
Born and brought up in a lower-middle-class family, Rinku’s father Khanchandra Singh delivers LPG cylinders to homes, an elder brother drives an auto rickshaw while another brother works in a coaching centre. It was his dream and it was the IPL match that made his life from rags to riches.
“Rinku was like any other student. Although he was not good at studies, what made him stand out from others was his body language, the way he carried the bat and gathered on the field, and his dedication towards cricket, all of which were matchless. was,” recalls Arjun Singh Fakira, the man who helped Rinku in the initial days of the struggle.
Fakira says that like other fathers, Khanchandra also insisted on studies. There were instances when Rinku was beaten up by his father for his dedication to sports and dedication to studies.
But then came a turning point when Rinku won a bike while playing a tournament, which he had given to his father to help him deliver cooking gas. It was at that moment that his father realized that his passion for sports was normal. And one day he will do something big. Rinku then got the biggest support of his life and that was his own father,” Fakira told.
He said that after representing Uttar Pradesh under-16, under-19 and under-23 central zones, he first played for Uttar Pradesh at the age of 16 and made his debut for Team A.
Rinku did well in his debut match, he scored 83 runs in this match. After 2 years, he made his Ranji Trophy debut for Uttar Pradesh on 5 November 2016. And till then he played 7 matches. He managed to score 4 fifties.
In the year 2017, Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) brought Rinku on board at his base price of Rs 10 lakh. He might not have got a game that season, but getting selected in the IPL was a big deal for him and also for his father. Khanachandra then decided to quit his over 30-year old job as a LPG delivery man.
Later in 2018, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) roped him in the mega players auction for Rs 80 lakh and then, there was no looking back.
On Sunday, KKR star Rinku played an unbelievable knock in the match against Gujarat Titans. With only 28 runs required off the last five balls, Rinku hit five consecutive sixes against Yash Dayal, handing KKR a memorable win in Ahmedabad.
