Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) pacer Pat Cummins on Monday confirmed that he has allocated his A$50,000 donation to UNICEF Australia’s India COVID-19 Crisis Appeal. It all happened a week after he pledged to donate the amount in PM CARES Fund.

Cummins seems to have changed his mind following Cricket Australia’s financial assistance of A$50,000 to UNICEF’s COVID-19 Crisis Appeal.

“Terrific Work @ CricketAus FYI I ended up allocating my donation to UNICEF Australia’s India COVID-19 Crisis Appeal. If you’re able to, please join many others in supporting this here //india.unicef.org.au/t/australian-cricket,” tweeted the World No. 1 Test bowler.

The donations made by CA and Cummins will be spent on providing oxygen to seriously ill patients, providing testing🥀 equipment in affected regions asﷺ well as supporting the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines.

All 8 franchises of the Indian Premier League (IPL) have also made gไenerous donations towards the cause over the last few days.

A massive surge in COVID-19 cases has placed a huge strain on India’s healthcare system, with a shortage of hospital beds, medicines and oxygen supplies.

India reported 3.57 la🐼kh new cases of coronavirus on Monday, pushi🎀ng the total to 20-million mark. Deaths jumped by a record 3,449, taking the overall toll to 222,408.
