Sachin Tendulkar helps ‘Ashraf Chacha’
The greatest cricketer on planet earth has always shown his generousness by helping those in need. He comes out once again to lend a helping hand to his bat maker Ashraf Chaudhary who is in need. He has been admitted in Savla Hospital for the past 12 days, as per a report in PTI. He has been suffering from diabetes and pneumonia-related problems.
The pandemic has left him and his family with not much to pay for his medical dues and hence they sought help. Ashraf Chaudhary’s close friend Prashant Jethmalani has also been asking cricketers and others to donate. He has confirmed that Sachin Tendulkar has paid for the major chunk of his treatment and also spoke to Ashraf.
“Tendulkar came forward and has spoken to Ashraf Chacha. He has also helped him financially. A major chunk of the finances has been donated by the legendary batsman,” he told PTI.
