A post shared by Rinku 🧿🇮🇳 (@rinkukumar12)



“I have never spent so many days without talking to you. I don’t know how life will move forward without you… But I know I will need you at every step," he wrote in a post on Instagram. "You always taught me that duty comes first, so on the field I was only trying to fulfil your dream. Now that your dream has been fulfilled… I just wish you were here with me. I will feel your absence in every small and big moment of happiness. I will miss you a lot, Papa," 

Meanwhile, Rinku played just five matches for India in the T20 World Cup, where he struggled for runs and scored just 24, including a duck against South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the Super 8s, which came at a crucial phase. 

After the loss against the proteas Rinku was dropped from the team, and Sanju Samson came in place of the finisher. The move brought good results for the team as Sanju played back-to-back match-winning knocks in Super 8s, the semi-final and the final.
