Sachin Tendulkar Covid Donation: In order to support the people of India fighting against the second wave of coronavirus which is growing with every passing day, many cricketers have stepped ahead with massive contributions. Due to major lack of oxygen supplies and other medical facilities, it has become really difficult for the state governments to control this panic situation across the country. Former India’s batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar has also come forward and announced a massive donation for India’s battle against Covid-19.

The God of Cricket also donated INR 25 lakh each to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund and the Chief Minister of Maharashtra’s Relief Fund in March 2020.
