Indian batsman Rinku Singh lifted the IPL trophy with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday. A day after this, he has told in an interview that he gets Rs 55 lakh and Mitchell Starc gets Rs 24.75 crore, it does not make any difference to him. He believes that whatever he is getting. He is happy with it. This season was not good for Rinku. However, the good thing is that he has been kept as a reserve for the T20 World Cup 2024 and he will leave for New York today i.e. on 28 May, as he played in the IPL 2024 final. At the same time, the rest of the players have reached New York. There is no information about Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli catching the flight yet.
In an interview given to Dainik Jagran, Rinku Singh answered this question that in IPL, your team's fast bowler Mitchell Starc is getting Rs 24.75 crore and you are associated with KKR for Rs 50-55 lakh. If you had gone to the auction, could you have got crores of rupees? On this, Rinku said, “Even 50-55 lakh is a lot. When I started, I did not even think that I would earn so much. At that time, I was a kid, if I got even 10-5 rupees, I thought I should get it somehow. Now I am getting 55 lakh rupees, so this is a lot, one should be happy with whatever God gives. This is my thinking. I do not think at all that I should have got this much money or that much money. I am very happy even with 55 lakh rupees. When these things did not happen, I realized the value of money.”
The most unlucky player in the history of IPL, has played the finals for 3 teams; but did not win the title
Left-handed batsman Rinku Singh said in the same interview about Rohit Sharma's captaincy, “The whole world has seen how good his captaincy is. If I talk about myself personally, I have done only one tour with him so far. I have not even talked to him much. He supports the youth a lot. He only wants the youth to do well and he always says that play and do well.”
