Netizens hail the anonymity
While there is no harm in disclosing the amount as the other cricketers have done, the Indian skipper has once again led from the front in style. Netizens praised Kohli for taking a generous step and not revealing the amount. While some termed the skipper as a champion, others hailed the couple's way of pledging.
Many celebrities are coming forward and donating generously to fight against COVID-19. Sports stars are also donating for the COVID-19 relief efforts in the country. Even the citizens are donating a significant amount to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund and to their respective states’ Chief Minister's Relief Funds.

The rest of the amount (₹25 lakh) will be given to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund.
