Multan Sultans, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise, has followed through on their charitable commitment by donating one million for every six hit and wicket taken by the team during their recent match. The announcement was confirmed via the team’s official Instagram account, showcasing their dedication to giving back to the community.
Charitable Action From The Cricket Field
As seen in the Instagram post, the Multan Sultans shared an image of the players in a hurdle and a donation confirmation, with the caption: “As pledged – Rs. 100K donated for every six hit and every wicket taken by the Sultans.” Even the exact match details and total donation amount were specifically mentioned in the post. The commitment demonstrates how the franchise is leveraging its sporting success to make a positive impact beyond the cricket field.
About Multan Sultans
Multan Sultans is a relatively newer franchise in the Pakistan Super League, having joined the competition in 2018 as the sixth team in the tournament. The team represents the city of Multan in Punjab, Pakistan, and plays its home matches at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
The franchise has experienced considerable success in its brief history, winning the PSL championship in 2021 under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan. They’ve established themselves as one of the stronger teams in the league, consistently qualifying for the playoffs in recent seasons.
Owned by Ali Tareen, son of politician Jahangir Tareen, the Sultans have built a reputation for their cricket and for their community engagement initiatives, like this charitable donation program.
Commitment To Community
This donation initiative reflects a growing trend among sports franchises worldwide to incorporate social responsibility into their operations. By tying donations directly to on-field performance metrics like sixes and wickets, the Sultans have created an additional motivation for players while ensuring their sporting success translates to community benefits.
The practice of donating based on specific in-game actions has become increasingly common in professional sports, allowing teams to combine their athletic pursuits with philanthropic goals. For fans, this adds another dimension to their support, knowing that each boundary hit or wicket taken contributes to a worthy cause.
As the PSL season continues, the Multan Sultans will likely maintain this charitable initiative, potentially inspiring other franchises to launch similar programs that leverage the popularity of cricket for social good in Pakistan.
