Kolkata Through his performances in the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Knight Riders batsman Rinku Singh has experienced a meteoric ascent.
The 25-year-old’s five consecutive sixes in the final over against the Gujarat Titans to win the game for Kolkata have been the pinnacle of his tournament thus far. Rinku Singh has decided to construct a sports hostel for underprivileged cricketers in Aligarh, stealing the spotlight from his excellent performances on the field. Rinku endured the hardships of growing up as a cricketer from a disadvantaged background, and the 25-year-old has ensured that no one else has to endure the same.
The hostel is currently under construction at the Aligarh Cricket School and Academy, which is a 15-acre facility. Rinku Singh will inaugurate the facility upon his return from the IPL in May 2023, when it is anticipated to be operational.

Masooduz-Zafar Amini, Rinku Singh childhood coach from Aligarh, remarked about the hostel that its construction had always been Rinku’s fantasy. In addition, he discussed the hostel’s specifics and the anticipated completion date of the construction.
“He has always desired to construct a hostel for young players without the financial means to pursue their ambitions. “Now that he is financially stable, he has decided to make it a reality,” Masooduz-Zafar Amini was quoted by News18 as saying.
“Approximately twelve of our apprentices will relocate to the hostel. Currently, they pay exorbitant rent, but here they can obtain rooms and sustenance for a nominal fee. In addition, they do not have to waste time and money on travel, as nearly 90 percent of the task has been completed. It will be completed next month. Rinku will inaugurate the facility upon his return from the IPL. This facility will hopefully make life simpler for these children,” he added.
