My parents set the goal for me to represent the county: Rinku Singh
Rinku Singh made his International debut for Team India in the first T20I against Ireland on Friday, August 18 in Dublin. He did not get an opportunity to bat in the rain-marred game. Regarding his debut, Rinku shared that it was his parents’ goal to see him play for India. He said,
āIt is a nice feeling (being part of the Indian team setup) because I have worked very hard to reach here. I picked up cricket almost 10-12 years ago and the one goal my parents set for me was to represent the country. They felt IPL is played by so many but only a few get picked for the Indian team so they wanted me to make the most of my opportunities in IPL and get to the Indian team. And now their dream is about to come true.”
