New Delhi: Australian pace bowler and cricketer Pat Cummins who is currently in India for playing IPL, on Monday made an announcement through his Twitter account donating $50,000 to India’s PM Cares Funds to fight Coronavirus.

Cummins who plays for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL added that he was donating the money to PM Cares Fund “Specifically to purchase oxygen supplies for India’s hospitals”.

Twitter users hailed the bowler for the generous contribution to the country’s fight against the deadly virus whose second wave has grappled the entire country pushing it to one of the worst healthcare crises in the country’s history.

However, users also expressed their reservations over Cummins choosing to donate the amount to PM Cares Fund alleging the funds were mismanaged by the government and had no audit to show the utilization of the money to the public.

Several users including a few with verified batch added it would’ve been better of Cummins had he chose any other organization or charitable units to help and that the PM Cares Funds were not ideal as it would not help the people of the country.

Here are some of the tweets where people called on Cummins to consider other organizations for donating the money over PM Cares Funds.
