Very happy to see him hitting 5 sixes
Rinku’s father Khanchand said, ‘He is the third son. In the beginning, he used to play only cricket, I used to persuade him that what he would do after playing a cricket match, was read and write, if he wanted to become something, he was not focused on reading and writing. When I saw him here and there, saw him score good runs in the stadium, everyone said that your boy plays well. Then I refused in such a way that there is no need to work, you play cricket, I do the work of gas cylinder delivery. I never thought that today he would reach such heights. Whenever I needed it in my work, he also did the work of lifting cylinders with me. His brother got him to work as well but he refused to do the work. Yesterday when I saw him hitting 5 sixes, I felt very happy, my chest widened. Rinku is not married yet. I want to see him playing in India. Rinku refused me 5 years ago that father should leave this work, but I refused that he will continue to walk on my hand, so I do my work ‘.
Used to share gas cylinder with father
Rinku Singh is the third of 6 children of his parents, Rinku Singh has 5 brothers and a sister. Rinku Singh, 24, has seen the struggle of his life; he has seen his father delivering cylinders from door to door and his elder brother driving an auto to make a living. Even before swinging the bat, he has reached the broom. Rinku’s father used to work as a gas hawker, so Rinku used to go door-to-door with him to install cylinders. Rinku lives in a small quarter of the same gas godown. Rinku was fond of cricket since childhood. Rinku, who used to play cricket in small grounds in Aligarh, slowly started playing big tournaments and after that he got selected in the UP team.
Rinku’s luck shines like this
During the last 5 years of his IPL career, Rinku has suffered from injury to suspension for violation of BCCI rules. The family did not like Rinku playing cricket. Although his father himself was very fond of cricket and was a cricketer. In 2012, when Rinku won a bike in a school tournament, the family’s mind started changing.

The one who got so much money that no one in the family had ever seen him. After repaying the loan, Rinku got the land built and got all the problems of his house were removed.
