Rinku, who has been a crucial player for KKR, revealed that the tattoo on his right arm holds a special meaning for him. It was etched into his skin when he was selected for the KKR team, marking a pivotal moment at 2:20 PM that turned his family’s fortunes around.
“This was made when I was picked for KKR.
I think it was 2:20 PM. My family’s life changed from that very point. I was auctioned for Rs 80 lakh. So the money solved all the family problems. We could repay all the debt. So my life changed from then,” said the 26-year-old batter.
The tattoo has the word ‘family’ inked on it, along with a rose and a peace symbol. Rinku’s journey to becoming a professional cricketer has not been easy, and his tattoo is a reminder of the struggles and the eventual success that has come his way.
Explaining his tattoo, Rinku added, “I have inked the word family here, a rose, and a symbol of peace.”
