MS Dhoni donates to help 100 poor families in Pune during COVID-19 pandemic

<p>Dhoni on Thursday donated a sum of Rs 1 lakh to the Mukul Madhav Foundation via a crowdfunding website Ketto in Pune which will support 100 families for 14 days as India continues to remain in lockdown in a bid to fight against the deadly COVID-19. While some sportspersons have come forward and donated their bit in this time of crisis, Twitteratis&nbsp;were left completely baffled and angered to see Dhoni donating just Rs 1 lakh.</p>

<p>Fans and social media users raised their voice on micro-blogging platform Twitter to slam Dhoni as many stated that with a worth of around Rs 800 crore, Dhoni could have or rather should have donated more.</p>
