Overview

• Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Rinku Singh said KKR "backed me at my worst" after he went down with a knee injury in 2021.
• He recounted hearing a crack during a Railways match, fearing IPL exclusion and the impact on his then ₹80 lakh contract before an MRI confirmed a meniscus tear.
• After surgery and nearly four months of rehab, domestic performances put him back in the auction where KKR beat LSG to buy him for ₹55 lakh.
• He cited his five consecutive sixes off Yash Dayal in 2023 and contributions to KKR’s 2024 title as defining steps in his rise.
• Now with India’s Asia Cup squad in the UAE, he has yet to play, competing for a middle-order role as his T20I returns stand at 546 runs with a 161 strike rate.
