Rinku Singh, an Indian cricket player, is determined to make a difference in the 2024 T20 World Cup if given the chance. The twenty-six year old said the chance to play in the Cup would be monumental. He’s striving diligently toward this goal.
Following a successful stint with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2023’s Indian Premier League (IPL), Rinku was awarded his first outing with team India. His T20I career is young yet promising. Rinku’s left-handed playing, particularly a vital stint in his first T20I against Australia, was lauded.
During an interview with timesofindia.com, Rinku responded with transparency regarding his taste for the T20 World Cup.
“Yes. I am ready. I don’t think much about the future. If I get the chance, I will surely grab it and do well. Be it any format or anywhere in the world, if I get the chance I will give my hundred percent.”

Rinku Singh added:
“It will be a big big thing for me. I am the only male cricketer from Aligarh to play in IPL and India as well. This is a huge thing for me. Every cricketer’s dream is to play for India and represent the country in the World Cup. I am also living this dream. I don’t know how I will react when I see my name in the World Cup squad. But I will wait for that day. I am really working hard towards that goal.”

“I love to play in different conditions and situations” – Rinku Singh
Rinku’s poise under duress has distinguished him both in the IPL and during his brief spell with the Indian side. Even when the situation appears to be out of control, he seldom appears agitated. Rinku justified his cool disposition by saying that he enjoys difficulties.
“I have been playing since 2013. I have played a number of matches. I love to play in different conditions and situations. Honestly, I love challenges. If someone says it is difficult or impossible, I love to do those things. The best part is that I believe in myself.”
“I generally bat down the order and these kinds of crunch situations arise automatically. So, I am familiar with these situations now.”
