Australia and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) fast bowler Pat Cummins said that he is contributing $50,000 to the Prime Minister's Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM CARES Fund) "specifically to purchase oxygen supplies for India's hospitals".

The news comes in the wake of reports of Australian players considering pulling out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and returning home due to the alarming increase in Covid-19 cases in India.
