India wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has joined the list of cricketers who have lent their support in the country’s fight against COVID-19.
Rishabh Pant took to Twitter on Saturday to announce that he will be making a monetary donation in a bid to support a foundation (Hemkunt Foundation) to help procure oxygen cylinders with beds, Covid relief kits, and other assistance to those who are suffering with the current Covid crisis in the country.
The 23-year-old took to Twitter and wrote, ” “I am supporting the Hemkunt Foundation through a monetary donation that will help provide O2 Cylinders with Beds, COVID-relief kits and much more to the suffering across the country,” I am especially keen to work with organisations providing medical aid and support to rural India and non-metro cities which do not have the capacity of the medical infrastructure of the major cities (sic).”
