Behrendorff donates undisclosed sum for Covid fight

NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pace bowler Jason Behrendorff announced on Tuesday that he was making a donation to the UNICEF Australia's India Covid-19 Crisis Appeal to help the country in its fight against the raging pandemic.

In a message posted on his Twitter page, the 31-year-old wrote, "Like most cricketers, India has always been a special place to me, it's a beautiful country, the people are always welcoming, and playing cricket in India is like no other experience in the world. It is never lost on me how privileged I am to be able to play cricket for a living and travel to such countries as India, no more so than in the past 16 months.

"It's really horrific and distressing seeing what is happening at the moment here and knowing there isn't much I can do. My thoughts are never far from those here in India who are being affected by the virus. I can't even imagine what you are going through," wrote the left-arm bowler. IANS
