New Delhi: Its been over a year since Rinku Singh hit a remarkable six in a T20I match against South Africa leaving a noticeable crack in the press box at St Georges Park in Gqeberha. His powerful shot aimed at Aiden Markram not only displayed his impressive skills as a batsman but also revealed underlying issues in stadium maintenance. Rinku Singhs six broke media box glass. 🔥 - Rinku is insane...!!!!#INDvsSA pic.twitter.com/UptQfhDCKX — NO CONTEXT VIBE (@No_Context_Vibe) December 12 2023 Thirteen months later the glass panel near the Graeme Pollock pavilion remains broken. Budget constraints at the stadium have stalled repairs raising safety concerns as the third edition of the SA20 league nears. Another six from MI Cape Towns Dewald Brewis nearly hit the same area underscoring the urgent need for action. Former South African cricketer Dale Steyn humorously pointed out the aftermath of Singhs shot but the truth is that fixing the damage presents quite a challenge. The glass panels are made from safety glass which is designed to crack in a way that keeps shards from flying ensuring spectator safety. However replacing this specialized glass comes with a hefty price tag and logistical hurdles. The cost of replacing the damaged panel is substantial since safety glass is pricier than regular glass. In addition the stadium has other ongoing maintenance issues to tackle like the roofs and scoreboards which further stretches the financial resources. To some people they have an eye for maintenance. I usually say to my people and colleagues. This stadium doesnt belong to us. I am just passing through here. I will be here for a couple of years tops and then I will be gone. This stadium belongs to the municipality. And we are the custodians. When the members of the public walk in here they look at the stadium and probably think Are these people looking after our assets? And I say to them I want to be remembered that Id done a good job Terrance said.
