Rinku's humble background

With many of their star players opting out of the season due to various reasons, KKR started at a very bleak note of winning IPL 2023. However, for Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla's Kolkata Knight Riders' Rinku Singh has emerged as a jackpot.

Now, many may not know this but Rinku Singh comes for a very humble background. Rinku's father is one of the many gas delivery agents who delivers cylinders, home to home. The family was also under the pressure of tremendous loan.
