India and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) middle-order Rinku Singh said that his dream is to win a big trophy for his team in senior level cricket and lift it with his hands. Rinku, who is traveling with the Indian team as a reserve for the ICC T20 World Cup starting June 1, is representing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). After a successful season last year, scoring 474 runs at an average of 59.25 and a strike rate of 149.52 with four half-centuries, Rinku has had a disappointing 2024 season. With just 168 runs in 11 innings at an average of 18.66 and a best score of 26, Rinku has had a disappointing IPL 2024 and this could be either due to lack of form or lack of opportunities due to good performances lower down the order. Top order.
But the lack of good performance in the current IPL season and not being able to make it to the main squad for the T20 World Cup has not dampened Rinku’s enthusiasm, who is still more motivated than ever.
Rinku made her T20 debut against Ireland in 2023, after which she has played 15 matches and 11 innings, in which she has scored 356 runs at an average of 89.00 and strike rate of 176.24. The left-handed batsman played his last 20-over match for India against Afghanistan in January 2024.
“Ever since I played cricket, I have won a few trophies at the junior level. But not at the senior level. I am going to the World Cup. I want to hold the World Cup trophy, I hope we win. My dream is to win Big trophy for my country and hold it in your hands,” Rinku said in a video on the IPL website.
Speaking on the idea of one going through bad times, Rinku gave a very optimistic answer saying, “Times are bad for those who don’t have folded hands, we have them. Our times are not bad.” I don’t have his body parts, I’m not going through bad times.

Reflecting on the five consecutive sixes bowled by Yash Dayal in the final over to give KKR the win against Gujarat Titans, Rinku said that these sixes increased the value of his name.
“I kept wondering all the time whether I will get a chance to play further. I used to tell myself that I will do well in the next game and I should keep working hard. I kept working hard. After those five sixes, my life changed. I started getting advertisements. Now I can’t go out alone, I feel like I have done something in my life.
He joked, “People ask me if Rinku is really my name or the name used by my loved ones at home. I tell them it is my real name. Many people tell me that girls This name is given.”
The batsman said that he never thought that he would ever be able to hit those five sixes, but life made it happen.
He said, “God is thinking better of you somewhere. I would say, God’s plan!”
Speaking on her emotional side, Rinku said that though she is not emotional, some films bring out some emotions in her in the form of tears. He also talked about watching the critically acclaimed film 12th Fail, released last year, which was based on real-life Indian police officer Manoj Kumar Sharma’s journey to the position.
“I’m not that emotional. But when I watch movies, I see scenes that inspire me or in which someone meets again after a long time, I start crying. When I saw 12th Fail I was very I cried. I could relate to it because I find it inspiring when someone’s son performs well and a film is made on him,” Rinku said.
On playing as a finisher in the middle order, Rinku said, “I have been playing at this number for a long time (number five or six in the middle order), I know what to do. The more you keep yourself calm. , the more it will be.” You just react to the ball, it will become easier.”
On Tuesday, Rinku’s KKR will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for a direct spot in the final during Qualifier One at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) here at the Narendra Modi Stadium promises to be a fest of runs, with the match taking place between two trailblazers of the season who have made a habit of hitting fours and sixes. Is. Making huge sums for entertainment.
KKR finished the season on top with a total of 20 points from nine wins, three losses and two without a result. In their last game, they defeated Mumbai Indians by 18 runs on 11 May. Their last two league stage games against Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) were abandoned due to rain.
