There were some reports earlier which had claimed that Dhoni had donated a sum of Rs 1 lakh via a crowdfunding website Ketto to a public charitable trust in Pune, Mukul Madhav Foundation, in order to battle coronavirus pandemic. While some twitter handles had praised the Indian wicketkeeper for his contribution to the case, others said that the amount was too little.
