India’s star batter Rinku Singh has penned a heartfelt note to his late father after completing his World Cup duty for team India. He was an integral part of India’s T20 World Cup 2026 winning squad. The Men in Blue scripted history by winning the competition for the third-time.
During the ongoing marquee event, India’s middle-order batter faced a personal tragedy as he lost his father Khanchand Singh, who passed away on February 27, 2026, after a long battle with stage four liver cancer at a hospital in Greater Noida.
The left-hander has paid tribute to his beloved father with a heartfelt note on Instagram. He took to the social media platform to showcase what he is missing in his life after father’s departure.
“Aapse baat kiye bina itne din kabhi nahi nikale. Mujhe nahi pata aage ki zindagi aapke bina kaise chalegi… par mujhe har kadam par aapki zaroorat padegi. (I’ve never spent so many days without talking to you. I don’t know how life will go on without you… but I’ll need you at every step.),” wrote Rinku.
Rinku was with team India in Chennai when he got to know about his personal loss. He went to his hometown Aligarh for the final rites of his father, but in a brave act, came back and joined the team for the remaining games. Despite being in great pain, he showed courage and joined the team.
“Aapne sikhaya tha ki farz sabse aage hai.. toh field par bas aapka sapna poora karne ki koshish kar raha tha. Ab aapka sapna pura ho gaya hai…. toh bas yahi lagta hai ki kash aap mere paas hote. Har chhoti badi khushi mein aapki kami khalegi. Bohot miss karunga aapko Papa… bohot zyada. (You taught me that duty comes first… so I was just trying to fulfill your dream on the field. Now that your dream has come true… I just wish you were with me. I’ll miss you in every small and big happiness. I’ll miss you a lot, Papa… a lot.),” he concluded.
