Living his mother’s dream, swashbuckling batter Rinku Singh says a burning desire to give his parents a good life while wading through tough times paved the way for his inclusion into the Indian team.


Rinku was picked by the national selectors for India’s ongoing T20I series in Ireland, rewarding him for his excellent showing on the domestic circuit, including the IPL. He finished as the top run-getter for KKR with 474 runs averaging 59.25 and 149-plus strike rate.

What was his family’s reaction to the news of his India call-up? “They were very happy. My mother always told me to work as hard as I can to earn the India call and that has happened now, so I am living their dream.”

“A lot of blood and sweat has gone behind to earn this call. My passion for the sport helped me wade through a lack of support and financial hardships,” Rinku said during an interview with JioCinema before leaving for Ireland.
