The IPL 2023 is off to a good start. Several big names from home and abroad are making their mark. Also, many uncapped Indian players are proving to be impactful players on their sides. A case in point is Rinku Singh, whose hitting has proved to be a valuable asset for KKR. But Rinku is not just an on-field hero, he's a champion off the field as well.

¡°He always wanted to build a hostel for young players, who do not have financial resources to pursue their dreams. As he is financially sound now, he has decided to make it a reality,¡± said Rinku¡¯s childhood coach Masooduz-Zafar Amini told The New Indian Express.
¡°The work started around three months ago with Rinku watching the progress from close quarters before heading to join his team. 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. These trainees can have food at the canteen being run at the place. It will cost around Rs 50 lakh and the whole expenditure is being borne by Rinku,¡± he added.

Rinku's best knock was vs GT, when he hit Yash Dayal for 5 consecutive sixes in the final over to win it for KKR. With still quite a few games left one hopes for more such performances.
