Three turning points of Rinku’s life
God is not himself in this world, but if he has to make someone, then he definitely comes in one form or the other and gets made. The same happened in Rinku’s life. Three people had a big contribution in changing Rinku’s life. Rinku Singh was determined to make his future in cricket. All his brothers used to support him. Meanwhile, he got out twice in the first round of the Under-16 trials. This is because they were not getting proper training. In such a situation, Mohammad Zeeshan of Aligarh came forward to help him. After this, Rinku Singh started getting coaching from Masood Amin of Aligarh in the initial days.
