Apart from the news surrounding the Indian Premier League (IPL), there is another piece of news that has been the talk of social media in the world of cricket. Australian cricketer Pat Cummins has donated $50000 towards the Prime Minister Relief Fund for the purchase of oxygen supplies.

And, several cricketers, including the likes of Subramaniam Badrinath, Danish Kaneria, and Wasim Jaffer have lauded Cummins for his amazing gesture. Pakistan cricketer Babar Azam has requested everybody to follow all the SOPs regarding Covid-19. Meanwhile, Pragyan Ojha has expressed his gratitude to all the healthcare workers who are working tirelessly in these trying times.

Axar Patel produced a riveting performance with the ball in hand for the Delhi Capitals (DC) side in their encounter against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) outfit. Patel scalped 2 wickets in the 4 overs that he bowled, and also conceded only 7 runs in the Super Over.

And, Delhi Capitals’ (DC) Head Coach and cricketing legend Ricky Ponting has welcomed back Patel into the Delhi Capitals’ (DC) family. And finally, Ravichandran Ashwin has withdrawn himself from the 2021 edition of the IPL, and some cricketers have offered their thoughts regarding the matter.
