Joining the hands in India’s fight against the novel coronavirus, Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Hardik Pandya has announced that his family will be donating 200 oxygen concentrators in rural parts of the country.
Ahead of MI’s clash against the arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings, Hardik expressed his gratitude to the COVID-19 warriors and asserted that his family is finding ways to help out the needy people in times of pandemic.
Speaking to Star Sports Network, the 27-year-old said, “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 in 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,” Pandya added.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians are currently battling it out against MS Dhoni’s men in the 27th match of Indian Premier League 2021 at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi. After winning the toss, MI elected to bowl first.
For CSK, they suffered an early blow in the form of Ruturaj Gaikwad as Trent Boult dismissed the young opener for just 4 runs off 4 balls.
