Cricketer Rinku Singh’s father Khanchand Singh died of liver cancer amid the T20 World Cup. He has returned to Aligarh for the last rites. After BCCI’s permission, his return to the team is uncertain.
Death of Khanchand Singh: On one hand, while Team India’s fellow players have reached Kolkata to play the Super-8 match of T20 World Cup 2026, on the other hand Rinku Singh has returned to his home Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh. Here he performed the last rites of his father. Rinku shouldered her father’s bier as per Hindu customs and carried it to the crematorium. He was completely broken in this hour of grief. A huge crowd gathered at his father’s funeral and people showered flowers. Aligarh Police had made strict security arrangements during this period, so that there is no chaos. From national teammates to fans, everyone is consoling Rinku.
Rinku’s father dies of liver cancer
Rinku’s father Khanchand Singh was suffering from liver cancer. He was undergoing treatment at Yatharth Hospital in Greater Noida, where he breathed his last. As soon as the news of his father’s demise was received, Rinku left for Aligarh. Team management and BCCI are standing with him in this difficult time. Despite the important match for the Indian team, the board allowed Rinku to go home to join the family in mourning. After performing the last rites of his father, considering the condition of the family, Rinku can return to the team. However, nothing has been said yet by BCCI regarding this.
Rinku is going through difficult times
This is a very difficult time for Rinku, both on and off the field. In the current T20 World Cup, he has not been able to do anything special with the bat. He has scored only 24 runs in five matches and has not been able to fulfill his role as a finisher. Meanwhile he lost his father. In such a situation, it is possible that Rinku may not return to the team in this World Cup. At present, he can complete all the rituals only by staying with his family.
