He handed the cheque to former Baroda Cricket Association secretary Sanjay Patel and told him that the family can withdraw as much money as they want, but nothing less than 1 lakh.
According to reports, Martin met with an accident a few days ago and his hospital bills range up to 70,000 rupees per day.
Earlier, Martin’s family had requested BCCI to help them financially and the board came to help with ₹5 lakh.
The Baroda Cricket Association had also made contribution of ₹3 lakh.
Apart from this, former India captain Sourav Ganguly had also reportedly lent help.
It’s heartwarming to see Indian cricket coming together to help Martin and we wish him a speedy recovery.
