#RinkuSingh is trending on Twitter as Kolkata Knight Riders registered a memorable win against Gujarat Titans on Sunday in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), courtesy of Rinku Singh as he stunned everyone by hitting 5- sixes in the last over of the chase to pull off a heist.
With this historic win, he is gaining the love and appreciation of many on social media, but at the same time gained the attention of hate-monger Ali Sohrab, in his recent post on Twitter, Ali Sohrab has projected how Rinku Singh will be Islamophobic in the near future, despite of the fact that he was helped throughout his journey by Muslims.
He tweets, “When Rinku Singh did not have the money to buy a bat, Mohammad Zeeshan got him a cricket kit. There was no money for coaching, then Masood Amin gave coaching for free. KKR (Shahrukh Khan) gave him the opportunity. Keep the screenshot, after a few years Rinku will be found tweeting against Islam and Muslims!.” (English Translated)
Fact Check:
To check the reality, DFRAC team investigated all the claims made by Ali Sohrab one by one.
