Talented batter Rinku Singh was simply sensational for Kolkata Knight Riders in the previously concluded IPL edition. The left-handed batter pulled off a one-in-a-million-run-chase by hitting five sixes off as many balls against Gujarat Titans. After that epic match, KKR were quick to share the clip of one of the post-match celebrations from the dressing room where owner Shah Rukh Khan was seen saying, “Rinku my baccha.”
The Southpaw has become one of the most popular players in the KKR outfit and since his heroics in the second half of IPL 2022. After Shah Rukh said those words, Rinku became every KKR supporter’s most-loved cricketer and has been called ‘baccha (kid)’. Referring to the same, one of the fans asked the superstar to say one word about Rinku during the ‘Ask SRK’ session and Shah Rukh came up with a really smart response.
“Rinku is Baaapppp!! Not bacha a!!,” Shah Rukh wrote on Twitter. Shah Rukh’s response went viral as the fans couldn’t stop hailing the Bollywood superstar and his love for the KKR franchise and its players.
The talented is expected to make his debut for India soon. To note, the Men in Blue are slated to take on West Indies in a multi-format series. While Rinku’s name did not came in the Tests or ODI squads, several cricket experts and pundits believe that the left-handed batter will surely be in India’s T20 squad against the Men in Maroon set to be played under the leadership of Hardik Pandya.
