IND vs BAN: Epic! Rinku Singh reveals stunning details of his tattoo, watch viral video
Xtra Time Web Desk: Rinku Singh opened up about his much-talked-about tattoo in the lead-up to the T20I series between India and Bangladesh in Gwalior. Rinku shared intriguing details about the tattoo, his first after making a name for himself at the highest level of cricket.
Rinku got inked in September, with the words "God's Plan" written inside a ring that symbolises the sun's rays. He explained the special markings on his tattoo, highlighting the straight lines that point in the direction of the sixes he hit during that memorable over against Yash Dayal in an IPL game in 2023. Rinku had hit two sixes in the cover region, one over long-on, one over long-off, and one into the deep fine-leg stands, and he had them all marked in his special tattoo.

He was not part of India's T20 World Cup 2024 and travelled as a reserve player with team. He made a comeback in the T20I series against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. He stood out in the 3rd T20I, not for his batting or finishing skills, but for his bowling. He was given the task to bowl the penultimate over in Sri Lanka's chase and Rinku picked up two wickets and gave away just three runs in the 19th over. The gamble paid off and India won the match which went in the super over. Now he is looking to perform against Bangladesh in T20I.
