SRH Star Shreevats Goswami Donates Rs 90,000 To Provide Oxygen Supplies

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) wicketkeeper-batsman Shreevats Goswami has done a good deed and contributed to India’s ongoing fight against the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Goswami has not been given a game in the ongoing IPL 2021 tournament, has donated Rs 90,000 to provide oxygen supplies to the needful.

Goswami’s donation comes after Pat Cummins and Brett Lee started the donation drive by contributing money to the fight against Coronavirus. Pat Cummins donated $50,000 dollars to the PM Cares Fund for oxygen and other supplies, while Brett Lee donated one Bitcoin (approx. Rs 43 lakhs) to India crypto relief for similar purposes.

India saw a global record spike in cases for the 8th day in a row with 3,79,257 positive results and 3,645 deaths in the last 24 hours.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing IPL 2021, SRH is having the worst ever start to their tournament as they have lost 5 matches out of six played and are positioned at the last place in the IPL 2021 points table. They recently lost to Chennai Super Kings in Delhi by 7 wickets, as captain David Warner struggled during his knock of 57 and though he added 100 plus runs with Manish Pandey, who made 61, SRH could only put 171 runs on the board for the loss of 3 wickets.

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 75 and Faf du Plessis’ half-century and their 129-run opening partnership was enough for CSK to win the match with 9 balls to spare.
