Indian cricket team middle-order batsman Rinku Singh is currently going through a personal grief. His father, Khanchandra Singh, passed away due to stage-4 liver cancer. This tragic incident has raised questions about Rinku's availability for the T20 World Cup. The Indian team is now in contention for the semi-finals, and its next match is against the West Indies in Kolkata.
Father's Long Struggle with Cancer
Rinku Singh's father, Khanchandra Singh, had been battling liver cancer for some time. After his condition suddenly deteriorated, he was admitted to a private hospital in Greater Noida. He was placed on ventilator support and received continuous renal replacement therapy under the close supervision of doctors. The disease had reached its final stage, and despite all efforts, he could not be saved.
Who was Khanchandra Singh?
Khanchandra Singh worked as an LPG cylinder delivery boy in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. He worked hard for years to support his family. Despite limited resources, he never let Rinku's cricket dream fade away. Rinku Singh's father has played a major role in his current position.
Rinku returned home after his father's health deteriorated.
When his father's condition worsened, Rinku Singh left the Indian team and immediately returned home. At that time, the team was preparing for the match against Zimbabwe at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. However, after meeting his father, Rinku returned to Chennai to rejoin the team. However, now he may be away from the team again for the funeral ceremonies.
Impact on Team Combination
Rinku Singh's absence also affected the team combination. He was left out of the playing eleven in the match against Zimbabwe, and Sanju Samson was given the opportunity to open the innings. However, during the second innings, Rinku was seen on the field as a substitute fielder in place of Suryakumar Yadav. In such a situation, the Indian team may continue to field with the Samson-based combination, and Rinku may be given time to spend with his family.
Will Rinku play further?
The Indian team now faces the West Indies in Kolkata in the crucial T20 World Cup. The winner of this match will advance to the semi-finals along with South Africa. Currently, the BCCI has not issued any official statement regarding Rinku Singh's availability. Therefore, it will be interesting to see whether he will be part of the team for the remainder of the tournament.
Will Rinku's wedding dates be further postponed?
Rinku Singh was also supposed to get married this year. Last year, he got engaged to Priya Saroj, the Samajwadi Party MP from Machhlishahr. The two were supposed to tie the knot in June this year. However, after this tragic incident, there is still suspense over whether the date will be postponed.
Rinku and Priya got engaged in Lucknow on June 8, 2025. The two were rumored to tie the knot in June. After their engagement last year, the wedding was supposed to take place in Varanasi on November 18, 2025, but was postponed due to Rinku Singh's match. A wedding date was set for February 2026, but due to the T20 World Cup (February-March) and the IPL (March-May), the wedding dates were postponed to June.
