Rinku Singh shot five straight sixes in the last over to give his team a splendid victory a few days ago, making him the most widely discussed all over the country. Rinku may not be one of the highest-paid cricketers of the IPL but he is financially sound and that allows him to like to fulfill his dream of getting a hostel constructed for aspiring players who fail to make it to the final ground owing to financial problems.
He almost became a sweeper, but he had a dream of always making something big in cricket so he just continued. When he started to earn by playing cricket, all the money that he used to earn used to go to pay off the loans that his family members had taken from other people. After securing the IPL contract in 2018, he decided to contribute to his elder brother's wedding and save some for his sister's wedding. He also planned to move to a good house with his family. Getting chances regularly soon he became one of the most reliable players for the KKR Team.
Given the struggles he went through, he wants to make a smooth way for the upcoming talents, and the construction of a hostel will help in the realization of the dream. After becoming financially sound, he decided to convert his dream into a reality.
The work for the hostel started around three months ago and Rinku closely watched the progress. The hostel will have 14 rooms and each one can accommodate four trainees. A shed and a pavilion are also being constructed. Separate toilets are also being constructed. Canteen facilities are also going to run in the hostel. The expenditure for all this will be hefty and that is going to be borne out by Rinku.
The family of this great player revealed that despite the daily chores, they wanted him to focus on cricket. They also said that the sacrifices they made finally came to fruition as he not only did bring out the family from poverty but also is ready to assist a group of another poverty-stricken players by constructing a hostel.
The trainees will soon shift to the hostel. As it is, they are paying huge rent but they can also get food and rooms at a marginal cost. They would be saved from time loss and travel expenses now. The major work of the hostel is done and soon will have its inauguration.
The step taken by this cricketer is not only going to simply the ordeal faced by young trainees but is also going to inspire many more to act as per the precedent. Not everyone has the heart to extend help to the needy.
