Indian cricketer Rinku Singh is mourning the heartbreaking loss of his father, Khanchand Singh, who passed away early Friday morning after a prolonged battle with stage 4 liver cancer. The tragic news has left his family, friends, and fans in deep sorrow, as the young cricketer faces one of the most difficult moments of his life.
Khanchand Singh had been undergoing treatment for advanced liver cancer for several months. As his condition worsened in recent days, he was admitted in critical condition to Yatharth Hospital in Greater Noida. Despite continuous medical care and efforts by doctors to stabilize him, he succumbed to the illness due to severe complications associated with late-stage cancer.
Family sources revealed that his health had deteriorated rapidly over the past few weeks. Doctors had informed the family that the disease had progressed to an advanced stage, leaving very limited treatment options. Liver cancer in its fourth stage is highly aggressive and often affects multiple organs, making recovery extremely difficult.
Khanchand Singh was widely regarded as a strong pillar behind Rinku Singh’s journey from a modest background to international cricket. The family had faced financial hardships in earlier years, but his father’s determination and encouragement played a crucial role in helping Rinku pursue his dreams. Those close to the family say he took immense pride in his son’s achievements and followed every milestone of his career with joy.
News of his passing quickly spread across social media, prompting an outpouring of condolences from fans, fellow cricketers, and public figures. Many messages highlighted the sacrifices made by parents behind the success of athletes, expressing sympathy for Rinku Singh and his loved ones during this painful time.
The family is expected to perform the final rites in their hometown in the presence of close relatives and friends. They have requested privacy as they cope with the loss. Sources indicate that Rinku Singh has stepped away from public appearances to remain with his family and fulfill personal responsibilities following his father’s demise.
Khanchand Singh’s passing marks a profound personal loss for the cricketer, whose rise in Indian cricket has inspired countless young players. As tributes continue to pour in, fans across the country stand in solidarity with Rinku Singh, hoping he finds strength and comfort in the memories of his father’s unwavering support.
