Cricket is celebrated as a religion in India. Irrespective of caste, age, or group, this sport gives a massive level of satisfaction to the fans, which is unparalled. That is why there have been many inspiring stories that come across with the help of this game.
Over the years, there have been many cricketers who hail from villages and unheard locations who went on to play for their country and make a big name for themselves. Even in the current Indian setup, there are some players who are not from wealthy families but have made their names with their hard work.
One such story is with India’s latest talented batter, Rinku Singh. The 26-year-old made his international debut in 2023 for India in ODIs and T20Is. He caught the attention of the world after his incredible performance in the IPL 2023 for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
In 14 matches, the Southpaw scored 474 runs at an average of 59.25 and a strike rate of 149.53. He has established himself as a potential finisher that India has been looking for for a long time. In his short T20I career, Rinku has played some game-changing innings.
He has scored 356 runs in 11 innings at a brilliant average of 89 and an incredible strike rate of 176.23. This breakthrough has certainly changed his life, and now he is in India’s T20I plans. Rinku, who lived in a two-room quarter in Aligarh, has now become an upcoming star.
However, despite the success of Rinku, his father, Khanchandra Singh, who works as a deliveryman for LPG cylinders, hasn’t shown an interest in changing his profession. In a recent viral video, Rinku’s father is seen delivering LPG cylinders.

The video has spread like a fire in the woods, and everyone is talking about the down-to-earth nature of Rinku’s father. Despite the success of his son, he has chosen to carry on his profession. However, in an interview, Rinku himself said that he asked his father to leave the job, but his father denied it, saying that he loved his job.
