"My responsibility as a cricketer is to score runs. If you get a chance, try it 100%. I never live in imagination. I like to live in the present. Toil is in my hands and I don't think about the results. Let's wait and see what happens. My family, my childhood coach, and my friends are all happy that I am joining the Indian team. This is the dream of all of us. All I know is hard work. That's the theory I believe. I achieved all this due to Abhishek Nair sir and Nitish Bhaiyya."
Even though I excelled in the IPL and made it to the national team, my father never left his duties. I told him to take a rest but he did not listen and he still carrying cylinders. He loves to do that. At one stage I also understood and stopped saying it. He feels bored when he is idle. So, he has to take a call whether he wanted to continue his work or not," said Rinku Singh.
