Mini bio
How it started.
Rinku grew up in Aligarh, where his father delivered gas cylinders. Cricket brought an early turning point when he won a motorcycle at a school tournament. In a 2022 interview, he recalled how that prize helped his father see a future for him in the game.
Building his game.
He represented Uttar Pradesh from the under-16 level, scored 83 on his List A debut at 16, and made his first-class debut in the 2016–17 Ranji Trophy. KKR picked him in 2018. Coach Abhishek Nayar backed his development, including through an injury that kept him out of the 2021 IPL season.
The finish fans remember.
On 9 April 2023, KKR needed 28 runs from five balls against Gujarat Titans. Rinku hit all five for six and finished unbeaten on 48 from 21 balls. He made his India debut that August and later won the 2024 IPL title with Kolkata.
Beyond the boundary.
Fans also see him away from match pressure through his social posts and team videos. In Knight Bite, he cooked biryani with Kunal Kapur and teammates. In September 2025, he hit the boundary that completed India’s Asia Cup final win; in March 2026, KKR announced him as vice-captain.
