India, Feb. 27 -- Rinku Singh's father, Khanchand Singh, died on Friday due to stage four cancer. The update was provided by former India spinner Harbhajan Singh, who sent his "heartfelt thoughts and prayers" to the entire family. He was undergoing treatment at the Yatharth Hospital in Greater Noida. However, earlier this week, his condition worsened, and he had to be put on ventilator support. The India all-rounder's father had been unwell for some time, prompting the 28-year-old to leave the camp ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8s match against Zimbabwe at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Rinku returned in time for the contest, but he was not given a chance in the playing XI, as Sanju Samson was preferred ahead of him.

Taki...
