India's young explosive batter Rinku Singh has been a crucial part of the Kolkata Knight Riders team for the past few years. His stints with KKR even earned him a call-up to the national side, where also he made his presence felt with tremendous performance. However, his salary with KKR is often under question and it grew larger after the Knights roped in star pacer Mitchell Starc for a massive amount of 24.75 crores but Rinku doesn't let these things on his head and is content with whatever life is sending his way.

“Even Rs 50-55 lakh is a lot. When I started, I didn't even think that I would earn so much. At that time, when I was a child, I felt that if I could get even Rs 10-5, I would do it somehow. Now getting Rs 55 lakh is a lot, one should be happy with whatever God gives. This is my thinking. I don't feel at all that I should have received this much money and that much. I am very happy even with Rs 55 lakh. When this did not happen then it was known how much money is worth,” Rinku Singh told Dainik Jagran.
