Rinku Singh cricket career
Born on October 12, 1997, in Aligarh, Rinku Singh comes from a humble background. His father, Khanchandra Singh, worked as an LPG deliveryman, and Rinku often helped him in his early years. Despite financial hurdles, his passion for cricket never waned.
Rinku’s talent first gained national attention when he won the Man of the Series title at the International School World Cup held at DPS ground. His big break came in 2017 when Kings XI Punjab picked him up, although he didn’t get a chance to play. In 2018, Kolkata Knight Riders signed him for Rs 80 lakh, and his explosive performances in the 2023 IPL made him a household name. Recognising his potential, KKR retained him for a whopping Rs 13 crore in the 2025 IPL mega auction.
Today, Rinku is not just a cricketing sensation but also a member of India’s T20 and ODI squads.
