“Rinku Singh Reflects on T20 World Cup Miss: ‘It’s God’s Plan'”

In the sporting arena, where careers turn on a knife’s edge and form are as fleeting as it is crucial, Rinku Singh knows a thing or two about redemption. A few months ago, Rinku was left out of India’s T20 World Cup squad—a decision that puzzled fans, analysts, and cricket legends alike. But for Rinku, it was just another chapter in a larger, more divine script. After all, as his new tattoo reminds him, it’s all “God’s Plan.”Since bursting onto the scene in last year’s IPL, Rinku quickly became a vital part of India’s white-ball setup. Known for his ability to soak up pressure and launch blistering counter-attacks when the team is in trouble, Rinku excelled as a finisher in the Afghanistan and South Africa series. His game was versatile—equally strong against both pacers and spinners—and unlike some batters who take time to settle, Rinku could go on the attack from the get-go.
