Rinku Singh Reveals the Story Behind 'God's Plan' Tattoo

After striking 5 sixes off Yash Dayal to take Kolkata Knight Riders home, Rinku Singh secured a rhythm and on the back of a consistent run, he eventually received an India call-up. He had a fair start to his international career but was surprisingly snubbed from the T20 World Cup 2024 squad. He was kept in reserves. While he did not get the opportunity to showcase his batting prowess in the tournament, he did predict it correctly and it was indeed "God's plan." As India won the T20 World Cup, fans could not refrain from recalling what Singh had said ahead of the start of the tournament. The flamboyant batter finally revealed the story behind his iconic two-word phrase.  

Ahead of the start of the India vs Bangladesh 3-match T20I series, Rinku Singh divulged the story behind his tattoo.

"I keep saying 'God's Plan.' I designed my tattoo based on that. It's been a few weeks since I got it. The words 'God's Plan' are written inside a circle, which symbolizes the sun. The main aspect of the tattoo is the representation of the five sixes I hit in the IPL . It changed my life, so I thought I would include them in the tattoo," Rinku said.

Rinku Singh returned to the India squad following the culmination of the T20 World Cup . He is envisaged as a permanent in India's middle or lower order. A batsman, who could play the role of crises manager as well as a finisher.
