Rinku plans to win the World Cup as well.

In a jubilant state, Rinku Singh confidently declared his upcoming success in the World Cup after winning the IPL with Kolkata Knight Riders. The team had just secured their third title by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final match. Throughout the tournament, the team's batting order, including Rinku's, had been in top form. Despite only playing in 11 innings, the 26-year-old had a stellar performance with 168 runs at a strike rate of 148.67.

Excited for his next journey, Rinku shared his plans with Jio Cinema. "I will be heading to Noida first, and then, I will be going to the United States of America. You guys watch, I will also be lifting the World Cup," he confidently stated. Rinku's exclusion from India's World Cup squad had caused quite a stir when it was announced last month. However, he was selected as one of the four reserves, along with star batter Shubman Gill.

Reflecting on KKR's successful run this season, Rinku praised the entire team and gave a special mention to team mentor Gautam Gambhir, who had returned to the side after seven years. "It's not just one person's efforts that led to our victory, everyone worked hard. Since GG sir came, a lot of things have changed. His decision to send Sunil early in the batting order proved to be crucial," Rinku shared. "Our batting was strong, and our bowlers were exceptional. Venky has been in great form for the last few matches, so overall, everyone contributed to our success," he added.

In a separate interview with the new show "Dhawan Karenge" on the same channel, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant opened up about his journey in cricket. He recalled how his father, a passionate cricket fan, had gifted him an expensive bat, much to his mother's dismay. "It was my father's dream for me to become a cricketer, and I am grateful that I could make it come true. I knew I wanted to be a cricketer since the fifth grade. My dad gifted me a bat worth Rs 14,000, and my mom was not too happy about it," Pant shared.

Pant had a remarkable season with Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024, finishing as the team's top scorer with 446 runs in 13 games at a strike rate of 155.40, including three half-centuries. However, his individual success could not lead the team to a higher rank, as they finished sixth in the tournament.
