We were all deeply moved by the sentiments expressed and donations given by Pat Cummins and Brett Lee over the past week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;In that same spirit, we are proud to partner with UNICEF Australia to raise funds that will help the people of India by providing the health system with much-needed oxygen, testing equipment and vaccines,&#8221; CA&#8217;s interim chief executive Nick Hockley said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was Aussie quick Pat Cummins who was the first cricketer to make a sizeable donation of $50,000 towards the PM Cares Fund to help India fight the super-contagious second wave of coronavirus which has brought the country&#8217;s already-weak healthcare system to its knees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>PAT CUMMINS SHOWS THE WAY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cricketers from all around the world started contributing towards the cause after Cummins, who is currently in India plying his trade for the Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2021, showed them the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Former Aussie pacer Brett Lee donated 1 Bitcoin (Rs. 40 lakhs, approximately) to the Crypto Relief Fund to help his &#8220;second home&#8221; India. Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, who had contracted coronavirus last month, donated Rs 1 crore to a fundraising campaign, while opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan pledged Rs 20 lakh towards &#8216;Mission Oyxgen&#8217;, as well any cash reward that he receives in the remainder of the IPL 2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All 8 franchises of the cash-rich league have also made generous donations towards the cause over the last few days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A massive surge in COVID-19 cases has placed a huge strain on India&#8217;s health system, with a shortage of hospital beds and oxygen supplies, and morgues and crematoriums swamped.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">India reported 392,488 new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, pushing the total cases to 19.56 million.
