Team owners, players, and the support staff have all come together to help raise these funds towards a noble cause.
In an official statement, the Royals revealed that the relief measures will be implemented through the franchise’s philanthropic arm - the Rajasthan Royals Foundation (RRF) in partnership with the British Asian Trust (BAT).
Funds raised by the franchise will be utilized as relief measures all across the country. But the initial focus will be on the state of Rajasthan, where the RRF has already been involved in various initiatives.
Pat Cummins and Brett Lee also contributed before the Rajasthan Royals
Australian cricketers Pat Cummins and Brett Lee donated $50,000 and 1 bitcoin respectively to help India procure oxygen for those in need.
Indian cricketer Shreevats Goswami, who is a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) squad, also got involved in the relief work and donated ₹90,000 to help arrange oxygen supplies in hospitals.
India has been hit quite hard by the second wave of the Coronavirus, with the country reporting more than 3 lakh cases per day for more than a week now.
