The story of Aligarh's batter is nothing less than an amazing inspirational story which involves rejection, dejection, injury and a brilliant comeback. 
The 24-year old southpaw considered getting a job as a sweeper in his early days but later found his interest in cricket. He was away from cricket for a long time and was ruled out of IPL 2021 due to a knee injury.

Talking about his injury, KKR's batter said that he wasn't happy staying away from cricket for so long and his father didn't eat for 2-3 days when he came to know about it. 
Rinku was bought by Punjab Kings in IPL 2017 and was bought by Kolkata in 2018. Despite his presence in IPL, the leading run scorer for Uttar Pradesh in the group stage of Ranji Trophy 2018-19, didn't get many chances to play in IPL.
Rinku further added that he was a bit sad but knew that he would recover quickly as he had a lot of self-belief.

Ajinkya Rahane who had sustained a hamstring injury in Kolkata Knight Riders' 2nd last league stage game has provided a major update on his return date. While informing that his rehabilitation is going well, Rahane who is currently recovering at the National Cricket Association, Bengaluru said that his current focus is getting back on the field. The Test veteran further said that it is expected that he will be fit in around 6-8 weeks. But, currently he said, he is taking one day at a time, one week at a time. Rahane who played in 7 matches for the Knight Riders could collect only 133 runs for the Shreyas Iyer-led team.

Due to his back-to-back poor performances, the 33-year-old was dropped from the Indian Test squad against Sri Lanka, earlier this year.
