Rinku Singh’s father passes away after cancer battle

Feb.27 - Grief has struck Indian cricketer Rinku Singh as his father, Khachandra Singh, passed away at a hospital in Greater Noida after battling stage 4 liver cancer.

Khachandra Singh had been undergoing treatment for some time, but his condition worsened in recent days. He was placed on ventilator support as doctors attempted to stabilise him before he succumbed to the illness.

Rinku, who was with India’s squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, left the team earlier this week to be with his family after receiving news of his father’s deteriorating health. It remains unclear whether he will rejoin the squad for the remainder of the tournament. - (indiatvnews)
