The left-hander was told in 2018 that he was dreaming too big. After signing his first IPL contract with KKR for Rs 80 lakh in 2018, the Aligarh native decided to create his own fan page on Facebook, but he was heavily trolled for it.
Rinku played only four IPL matches in 2018, scoring 29 runs. People mocked him, saying he was getting ahead of himself. Instead of worrying about his fan base, they advised him to focus on his performance on the pitch.
The benefit of time is that it passes quickly. After last night’s heroics, I’m sure those who mocked him five years ago are now applauding his incredible power-hitting. Not only ordinary fans, but also the franchise’s co-owner, superstar Shah Rukh Khan, are smitten with the youngster.
In response to his incredible knock, the ‘King of Romance’ released an edited image of the southpaw, morphing his own face with Rinku Singh on the poster of his blockbuster film ‘Pathaan’.
People on social media are swooning over the small-town boy who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat and recorded one of the most memorable victories in IPL history.
Rinku Singh has come a long way since being trolled for creating his own fan page to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan fanboying over him.
