NorthSideSox72 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Interesting to see in the Kanny box, the appearance of Rinku Singh (for the other squad). I hadn't realized any of those Indian pitchers from the reality show was still around, but he's playing A ball now, putting up semi-decent results. He can supposedly throw 92.

Haven't seen this show....what was it? And since his name is Singh...I would otherwise guess that he is a Sikh. Does he wear a turban (required for Sikh men) when he pitches?

He doesn't appear to be Sikh. But that would be an interesting thing. The show is a pretty cool concept...since India has a pretty good cricket tradition, it wouldn't be a bad place to scout for good arms.

Vastly more money to be made in baseball. The Indian national cricket team players (read: best in the world) have an average salary that equals the major league minimum. I'd imagine club or league cricket pays far less....although endorsements are likely more lucrative for cricket. I don't know the relative pay of bowlers vs. batters in cricket and whether there is a premium on either.

Singh is a pretty common surname in India, and Sikh is something like the 4th most popular religion there (behind Hindi, Muslim and Buddhist, maybe even behind Christian).
