Star cricketer Rinku Singh to begin a new chapter in his career but this time off the cricket field.
In a significant move, the Yogi Adityanath-led UP government has rewarded Rinku Singh for his achievements on the international cricket stage.
The appointment aligns with the state’s policy to integrate sporting excellence into public service roles.
With this new appointment Rinku is all set to begin a new chapter in his career.
Rinku Singh’s struggles to stardom is one of determination and grit. Born on October 12, 1997, in a humble household in Aligarh, his early life was far from easy. His father worked as a gas cylinder delivery man, and Rinku often lent a hand. Despite these hardships, cricket remained his passion and he pursued it relentlessly.
His big breakthrough in his cricketing career came through IPL
with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). His explosive performances in the 2023 season won him nationwide admiration. Eventually, he broke into the Indian team, playing in both T20Is and ODIs.
Rinku first rose to prominence by winning a title in school-level international cricket.
Amidst the IPL 2025 mega auction, KKR retained Rinku Singh for a massive ₹13 crore, reaffirming their faith in the batter’s potential. Off the field, Rinku also headlined for his engagement to Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj. The couple was set to tie the knot on November 18 in Varanasi, but the wedding has been temporarily deferred for personal reasons.
Rinku focused on cricket and service
While currently busy with domestic cricket commitments, Rinku Singh is gearing up for his dual role, continuing his cricketing career while also contributing to the education sector.
His journey from Aligarh’s dusty grounds to international stadiums, and now a respected government role, is a true tale of modern-day inspiration.
