Former India captain and veteran wicket-keeper, in a humanitarian gesture, has donated a sum of Rs 1 lakh on a crowdfunding website Ketto, to&nbsp; Mukul Madhav Foundation in Pune which will support 100 families for 14 days as India continues to remain in lockdown to fight back against the deadly COVID-19.&nbsp;

Pune is one of the worst-hit cities by the COVID-19 in India with over 30 positive cases reported and hundreds of people in quarantine. Dhoni’s donation will be used to provide relief kits in Pune to&nbsp;the daily wage workers who continue to suffer the most from the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The relief kit, priced Rs 100 each,&nbsp;consists of basic essential items such as soap, rice, flour, oil, grains, pulses, biscuits, tea, sugar, spices, etc. Following Dhoni’s kind gesture, many people started noticing and chipped in with a donation to raise as much as Rs 11.5 lakh for the campaign.
