India National Cricket Team Supports Organ Donation
The initiative has the potential to make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of people waiting for organ transplants, and the Indian cricket team's support is a testament to the power of sports in promoting social causes and inspiring positive change.
Indian and England cricketers wore green armbands in the 3rd ODI at Ahmedabad to show their support for the "Donate Organs, Save Lives" initiative, launched by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to promote organ donation and raise awareness about its importance in saving lives.
The initiative, announced by ICC Chairman Jay Shah, has received support from several Indian players, including Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami, and former captain Virat Kohli, as well as England's Jos Buttler. The campaign aims to encourage people to pledge to donate their organs and make a difference in the lives of those in need of transplants.
The Indian cricket team, currently leading the series 2-0 against England, has come together to appeal to the public to join the initiative. Team members, including Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Rishabh Pant, have emphasized the importance of organ donation in saving lives and have pledged their support for the cause.
The "Donate Organs, Save Lives" initiative is a significant step towards raising awareness about organ donation in India, and the support from the Indian and England cricketers is expected to inspire many to join the cause and make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
