KL Rahul has won the admiration of many through his remarkable off-field gestures, notably by keeping a promise to support a young man’s education. The Indian cricketer has taken on the financial responsibilities of Amrut Mavinakatti, a 20-year-old from Mahalingapura in the Bagalkote district, enabling him to continue his college studies.
As reported by thesouthfirst.com, Rahul has extended his support to Mavinakatti as he pursues his B.Com degree at KLE Technological University in Hubballi. In a conversation with reporters in Hubli, Mavinakatti expressed his gratitude, detailing how KL Rahul had assisted him in gaining admission to the college last year and had pledged to support him financially for his second year as well.
“Last year, KL Rahul helped me get admission into college. I scored a 9.3 CGPA in the first year. He stands by his words and has paid ₹75,000 for my second-year studies,” Amrut Mavinakatti said, emphasizing the importance of Rahul’s support in his academic journey. He also extended his thanks to Manjunath Hebasur and Bagalkot’s Nithin for their financial assistance, vowing to put in sincere efforts to excel in his studies.
