In the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), a game between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday turned into a blockbuster crafted by one man. that even bureaucrats could not resist themselves from heaping praises on Rinku Singh.

The 25-year-old left-handed KKR batsman, was the man who created miracle by hitting 5 sixes in a row in the last over of the match to win an almost impossible game for his team. His name is now etched in the history of the game.

Now, lovers of the game including bureaucrats, are lauding him for his sheer grit not just as a player but also as a person who has touched the first step of success after overcoming many obstacles.

A 2009 batch IAS officer, Awanish Sharan, shared a video where Rinku is seen narrating about his life’s journey. He started off with a sweeper’s job at a coaching centre. Mr Awanish tweeted, “I had no other option other than cricket. I didn’t like the first option. Very inspiring Rinku Singh.🙏🙏”

Jitin Yadav, a 2016 batch IAS officer, also shared a picture of Rinku Singh sitting in his old house, and tweeted, “Life’s struggles are necessary for growth.” This tweet went viral too.

ABOUT RINKU SINGH

Rinku Singh comes from a poor family and he had to face many difficulties before he tasted fame in life.

Rinku hails from Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, and plays domestic cricket for UP. He is the third of 5 siblings. Rinku’s father’s financial condition has never been good and delivered gas cylinders to bring up his kids.

Rinku was fond of cricket since childhood, but his father did not want his son to waste his time in cricket.

Despite several beatings for pursuing his passion, Rinku as a child never let go of his aim. To ease with financial condition of the family, he had decided to get a job. But not being well educated, he could only manage sweeping and mopping at a coaching center. That, however, did not last long as he quit.

He then put all his focus on cricket. After failing twice in the under-16 trials, his hard work finally paid off when in 2014 he got a chance to debut in List-A and T20 cricket for Uttar Pradesh. In the IPL 2017 auction, Rinku was bought by Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) for Rs 10 lakh.

And now, everything has changed, Rinku has become a superstar.
