#cricketerrinkusinghsfatherpassesaway
भारतीय टीम के विस्फोटक बल्लेबाज रिंकू सिंह के पिता खानचंद सिंह का निधन हो गया है। उन्होंने ग्रेटर नोएडा के यथार्थ हॉस्पिटल में अंतिम सांस ली। खानचंद को लीवर कैंसर था और वह चौथे स्टेज में पहुंच चुका था। टी20 वर्ल्ड कप के बीच रिंकू सिंह के सिर से पिता का साया उठ गया। 

  


रिंकू सिंह के पिता ने आज सुबह अस्पताल में आखिरी सांस ली। रिंकू सिंह के पिता का नाम खानचंद्र सिंह था। उन्हें कैंसर की बीमारी थी। वह स्टेज 4 लिवर कैंसर से जूझ रहे थे। हाल ही में उनकी तबीयत काफी खराब हो गई जिसके बाद उन्हें हॉस्पिटल में भर्ती कराया गया था। ग्रेटर नोएडा के यथार्थ हॉस्पिटल में उनका इलाजा चल रहा था।

पिता से मिलने गए थे रिंकू सिंह
जिम्बाब्वे के खिलाफ मुकाबले से पहले रिंकू सिंह ने ब्रेक लिया था। पिता की गंभीर स्थिति की सूचना मिलते ही रिंकू सिंह टी20 वर्ल्ड कप 2026 के बीच ही अपने पिता से मिलने आए थे। लेकिन जिम्बाब्वे के खिलाफ मैच से पहले दोबारा टीम के साथ जुड़ गए थे। पिता के निधन की खबर के बाद वो तुरंत वापस लौटे हैं। 

सिलिंडर वितरण कर बेटे का सपना पूरा किया
रिंकू सिंह के पिता खानचंद्र गैस एजेंसी पर सिलिंडर वितरण का काम करते थे। वह उत्तर प्रदेश के अलीगढ़ में एक गैस एजेंसी में काम करते थे। आर्थिक तंगी के बावजूद उन्होंने अपने बेटे रिंकू के क्रिकेटर बनने के सपने को पूरा करने में सहयोग किया। रिंकू की कामयाबी के बाद भी उन्होंने यह काम नहीं छोड़ा। रिंकू ने खुद शुरुआत में सिलिंडर वितरण के काम में पिता का हाथ बंटाया और गरीबी से लड़ते हुए क्रिकेट के मैदान पर अपनी जगह बनाई।

पाकिस्तान की एयरस्ट्राइक में अफगानिस्तान के तीन क्रिकेटरों समेत 8 की मौत, एसीबी ने उठाया बड़ा कदम
#afgwar3afghancricketers_killed


  


पाकिस्तान और अफगानिस्तान के बीच पिछले कुछ दिनों से सैन्य झड़प हो रही है। यह संघर्ष पिछले हफ्ते शुरू हुआ जब इस्लामाबाद ने काबुल में तहरीक-ए-तालिबान पाकिस्तान (टीटीपी) के ठिकानों पर हमला किया। हालांकि, 8 अक्टूबर से जारी संघर्ष के बाद बुधवार शाम को सीजफायर पर सहमति बनी थी। लेकिन शुक्रवार रात पाकिस्तान ने अफगानिस्तान पर हवाई हमले कर दिए। पाकिस्तानी सेना ने पक्तिका प्रांत में एयर स्ट्राइक की और रिहायशी घरों को निशाना बनाया गया, जिसमें कई युवा क्रिकेटर्स ने भी अपनी जान गंवा दी। 

अफगानिस्तान ने ट्राई सीरीज से नाम वापस लिया
इस बात की पुष्टि खुद अफगानिस्तान क्रिकेट बोर्ड ने की है। अफगानिस्तान क्रिकेट बोर्ड ने बताया कि कबीर आगा, सिबघातुल्लाह और हारून नाम के 3 अफगानी क्रिकेटर्स की इस हमले में जान गई। पाकिस्तान की इस घटिया हरकत के बाद अफगानिस्तान क्रिकेट बोर्ड ने एक बड़ा कदम उठाया है। उन्होंने पाकिस्तान और श्रीलंका के साथ होने वाली ट्राई सीरीज से अपना नाम वापस ले लिया है। यह सीरीज 5 से 29 नवंबर के बीच लाहौर और रावलपिंडी में खेली जानी थी। लेकिन, पाकिस्तान के एयरस्ट्राइक के बाद यह फैसला लिया गया। 

8 डोमेस्टिक और क्लब स्तर के खिलाड़ियों की मौत
अफगानिस्तान की मीडिया के मुताबिक, पाकिस्तानी हमले में कुल 8 अफगानिस्तान के डोमेस्टिक और क्लब स्तर के खिलाड़ियों की मौत हुई है। जानकारी के मुताबिक ये आठों खिलाड़ी शराना इलाके में मैच खेल कर जीत का जश्न मनाने अर्गुन इलाके में आए थे, जब पाकिस्तानी सेना ने रिहाइशी इलाके में हवाई हमला कर दिया। इसके बाद पूरी इमारत मलबे में बदल गई।

हमले के खिलाफ राशिद खान का पोस्ट
अफगानिस्तान टीम के कप्तान राशिद खान ने भी घटना पर दुख जताया और सोशल मीडिया पर साझा एक पोस्ट में लिखा कि 'अफगानिस्तान पर पाकिस्तान के हालिया हवाई हमले में मारे गए नागरिकों की मौत से मैं बेहद दुखी हूं। राशिद खान ने कहा कि 'नागरिक ठिकानों पर हमला पूरी तरह से अनैतिक और निर्मम है। यह मानवाधिकारों का गंभीर उल्लंघन है और इसके खिलाफ कार्रवाई होनी ही चाहिए।

#cricketerrinkusinghsfatherpassesaway
भारतीय टीम के विस्फोटक बल्लेबाज रिंकू सिंह के पिता खानचंद सिंह का निधन हो गया है। उन्होंने ग्रेटर नोएडा के यथार्थ हॉस्पिटल में अंतिम सांस ली। खानचंद को लीवर कैंसर था और वह चौथे स्टेज में पहुंच चुका था। टी20 वर्ल्ड कप के बीच रिंकू सिंह के सिर से पिता का साया उठ गया।

 IPL 
 

 Khabar kolkata sports Desk : KKR has not yet seen the champion-cheap game so far this season, despite winning the IPL last time. Winning a match is losing in the next match. So far this is the 'pattern' of KKR in this IPL. Accordingly, on Monday, they were about to win against Gujarat. But there are cricketers like Jos Butler, Sai handsome, Shubhman Gill, who can break the 'pattern' effortlessly. Assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, who has joined the new team, is dreaming of turning around in the mantra of Nayar.
