The 48-year-old from Mumbai, who had spent some time in hospital himself after testing positive for the dreaded infection last month, also took to twitter to praise the initiative. “The second wave of Covid has put our health-care system under immense pressure. Providing oxygen for the large number of serious COVID patients is the need of the hour,” Tendulkar wrote on his twitter handle. “It is heartening to see how people are rising to the occasion. A group of 250 young entrepreneurs have launched Mission Oxygen to raise funds for importing oxygen concentrators and donating them to hospitals across the country. “I’ve helped by contributing to the cause and hope that their effort soon reaches out to many more hospitals across India. Today, we have to stand together behind everyone that is working hard to fight this pandemic.” Tendulkar has also pledged to donate plasma once he is eligible. IPL franchises Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals also contributed INR7.5 crore and 1.5 crore respectively for the fight against the pandemic. A few days back, Australia and Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Pat Cummins had donated USD 50,000 to purchase oxygen supplies for Indian hospitals.
