Sunrisers Hyderabad donate INR 30 crore in India’s fight against COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc without any respite over India, which is suffering from a deadly second wave driven by a new variant that is found to be more infectious and deadly than the previous strain. The numbers suggest a gloomy picture with India consecutively recording over 4,00,000 cases over the last few days and a daily death toll in thousands.

The Indian government opted to roll out vaccines to everyone aged 18 or above, although the nation is reportedly running out of COVID-19 vaccines as the government had set plans in place for mass drives. Notably, the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League had to be suspended too, after Covid cases emerged in different bio-bubbles across different cities before the BCCI and the IPL Governing Council took the hard step of postponing the tournament indefinitely.
With the world jolted with the pandemic, many organizations and individuals have tried their best to contribute and help the sufferers around by making contributions in their capacity. A host of cricketers and organizations have come forward in the recent past to help India’s COVID fight and the most recent in the list is IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have decided to donate INR 30 Crore to “provide relief to those affected by the second wave” of the COVID-19 pandemic.
