The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli has said he has no words to express how overwhelmed he is after his campaign for COVID-19 relief work in India raised more than ₹11 crores. Last week, Virat and his wife Anushka Sharma announced that they have organized a campaign to raise funds for Covid relief by themselves donating ₹2 crores and urged others to “come together and help our India”. On Friday, Virat took to Twitter and announced that the campaign had “exceeded our target not once, but twice”.
SHaring the amount generated through the campaign, Virat Kohli wrote: “Words fall short to express how overwhelmed we feel to have exceeded our target not once, but twice, thanks to each one of you. To everyone who has donated, shared, & helped in any way, I want to say a big thank you. We are #InThisTogether & we will overcome this together.”
