After hitting five straight sixes to beat Yash Dayal and win the match for the Kolkata Knight Riders, Rinku Singh shot to fame. The Southpaw’s reputation for hard-hitting and boldness grew, and he persisted in these traits months after being selected for the Indian squad. The young player has demonstrated his loyalty to KKR by expressing satisfaction with his pay, regardless of his earnings.

Down the order, Rinku emerged as KKR’s go-to player, and the 26-year-old is mostly regarded as a player who can win the game for the group. He even gave 50 lakh rupees towards the construction of a sports hostel for poor cricket players.

When questioned about his IPL pay, which is lower than that of some other important players, the cricket star said he was happy with his 55 lakh deal. With the 55 lakhs I receive in KKR, I’m content. According to Rinku, as cited by The Cricket Lounge, “That’s a lot of money.”

Living “God’s plan,” Rinku Singh is an ordinary Indian boy.

In addition to his IPL pay, Rinku receives a salary of INR 1 crore annually from the BCCI as part of his C Grade contract with the Indian squad. The batter from Uttar Pradesh is also one of the select few Indian players to represent the health drink Boost as a brand ambassador. In addition, he serves as the brand ambassador for My11Circle, an online gaming site. Big names in sports like SG, MRF, and CEAT are sponsored by him.

The hard-hitter once declared that, coming from a small town in Aligarh, getting five or ten rupees would do him good any day. A 200-yard parcel in the Ozon City neighbourhood of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, was purchased by the cricketer due to his affiliation with a major Indian Premier League side and subsequently the Indian cricket squad. He also purchased a 100-acre plot of land nearby.
