Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI) president GK Mahantesh has lauded the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) ombudsman DK Jain's decision to direct Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul to contribute to his association's fund. On Saturday, Pandya and Rahul were fined Rs 20 lakh each by Jain for making sexist comments on a TV show.

In the order published on the BCCI website, Jain directed the World Cup-bound players to pay a fine of R20 lakh each and that included a payment of Rs 1 lakh each to, "each of the most deserving widows of 10 constables in para-military forces who have lost their lives while on duty, through Bharat Ke Veer App".
