Sachin made the donation to the Hi5 Foundation, a non-profit organisation based out of Mumbai. “Best wishes to team Hi5 for your efforts in supporting families of daily wage earners,” Sachin tweeted. The organisation, through a tweet, thanked the ‘Master Blaster’ for doing his bit for the needy.

“Thanks @sachin_rt for proving once again that #sports encourages compassion! Your generous donation towards our #COVID19 fund enables us to financially aid 4000 underprivileged people, including children from @mybmc schools. Our budding sportspersons thank you!”
