Not picked for the T20I series against Afghanistan or the upcoming Asian Games in Japan, Rinku has been enjoying some time away from cricket.
Rinku’s Football Stadium Tour
Rinku was at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium to watch Spurs take on Everton in the Premier League. The club shared a picture of the cricketer holding a Tottenham jersey, with the caption, ‘Rinku Singh, Spurs ke ghar’.
He also made a pit stop at Manchester United’s Old Trafford, the ‘Theatre of Dreams’.
‘Sixes Only’ To Basketball Shot
Rinku then headed to the Copper Box Arena to watch a London Lions pre-season basketball game, where he was invited onto the court for a light-hearted chat with the host.
Asked what he enjoys doing most on a cricket pitch, Rinku had a typically straightforward answer, ‘Sixes only’.
The host then challenged him to try his hand at basketball. Rinku initially looked a little hesitant but eventually found the target, sending the ball through the hoop and drawing cheers from the crowd.
