Rinku: The Future of Team India
Rinku Singh is a perfect example of how hard work can change one’s destiny. For several years, he was part of KKR but was mostly limited to carrying drinks for the team. However, the determined cricketer from Uttar Pradesh never gave up. He kept working hard in the nets and eventually earned the trust of the team management. Rinku, who has been with KKR since 2018, rose to fame in 2023 when he smashed five consecutive sixes in an over, securing a historic victory for the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise.
