Know this truth about Rinku Singh before Asia Cup

Rinku Singh did a podcast with Raj Shamani before leaving for UAE for Asia Cup, in which he told many things related to his life. That interview of Rinku Singh was released just a day before the start of the Indian team's campaign in Asia Cup, in which he made a shocking revelation that his left hand weighs 1 kg less than his right hand. Rinku Singh told the whole story behind this in the podcast.

Monkey took out flesh from Rinku Singh's left hand

Team India's star all-rounder told that in his childhood, during the rain, he was going to the fields with his brother. Then a monkey came and grabbed his left hand tightly with its mouth. Rinku Singh had no one to save him at that time. His brother tried to chase the monkey away by throwing a stone. But it was not ready to move. And, when the monkey left him, a lot of flesh from his hand had come off. The condition was such that his bone was visible. Rinku Singh said that there was so much blood flowing that everyone started worrying whether I would survive or not.

Got my hand weighed at NCA, 1 kg less than the other hand

The Indian cricketer further told in the podcast that recently his hands had a DEXA scan at NCA, which revealed that there is a difference of one kg in the weight of both his hands. That means the left hand in which the monkey had bitten dangerously, weighs 1 kg less than the right hand.

This is the problem due to less weight of the hand

Does having less weight of one hand and more of the other cause any kind of problem? In response to this question, Rinku Singh told in the podcast that yes, it is absolutely so. According to Rinku, he is not able to lift as much weight with his left hand as he can lift with his right hand.
