Rinku’s journey to professional cricket has been filled with challenges, and his tattoo serves as a reminder of both the hardships he's faced and the successes he has achieved.

Explaining the details of the tattoo, Rinku Singh added, "I have inked the word family here, a rose, and a symbol of peace."
