While India is fighting the second wave of a novel coronavirus, a number of cricketers have come forward to lend their support to the country’s battle against the deadly virus. Premier all-rounder Hardik Pandya showed unity with the frontline warriors ahead of the match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, saying that his family would donate 200 oxygen concentrators to the cause.
Hardik confirmed that the equipment would be deployed in rural areas throughout the country, where medical facilities are lacking in comparison to urban areas.
“We all understand the difficulty that our country is undergoing at this period of time. Gratitude to all the medical staff, frontline workers, and all the individuals who have come out and held their hands at such times to fight out the battle.”
“Krunal, myself and my mother – basically our entire family, we were finding ways at trying to help out. We decided to donate 200 oxygen concentrators to the rural parts of India where I feel the medical infrastructure needs more support.”
“We all understand it’s difficult, we want to show our gratitude, support and just want to tell everyone that they’re always there in our prayers,” said Pandya.
