Xtra Time Web Desk: Indian Men’s skipper Virat Kohli has donated Rs. 6.77 lakhs for the treatment of former female Indian cricketer K.S. Sravanthi Naidu’s mother for COVID-19. Sravanthi’s mother is in critical condition. She had previously also appealed to the BCCI and Hyderabad Cricket Association for help. Kohli responded to a tweet in which he was tagged by former BCCI South Zone convenor and sister of Sravanthi, N. Vidya Yadav, and subsequently provided the help.
Sravanthi had spent over 16 lakhs for the treatment of her parents, both of whom are fighting for their lives, having tested positive for COVID-19. “Honestly, I was amazed at his spontaneous gesture. Such a great gesture from such a great cricketer. I am also grateful to the Indian fielding coach R. Sridhar who also took up the issue with Kohli,” Vidya later said to Sportstar.
