Virat Kohli and Team India players have urged the fans coming to watch the third ODI against England in Ahmedabad to support ICC chief Jay Shah’s initiative of 'Donate Organs, Save Lives'.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) head, Jay Shah, announced on social media the beginning of their awareness program 'Donate Organs, Save Lives' during the third One-Day International (ODI) between India and England, which is slated to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.  

Shah announced the news on his official Twitter account, while also discussing sports' ability to "inspire, unite, and create lasting impact beyond the field." He challenged everyone to take action and "make a difference" by giving a "gift of life" to those in need.

After Jay Shah's social media post, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video featuring Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, and the rest of the squad on their 'X' formerly known as Twitter to promote Jay Shah's initiative.

"Score the ultimate century. Your organs can help others live beyond your lifetime. Register as a donor and make every life count" said Virat Kohli.

“Be the captain of life. Just like a captain leads the team to victory, you can lead someone to life by pledging to donate your organs,” said India ODI vice-captain Shubman Gill. 

Here is the video:

India has already won the series after registering wins in the first two ODIs in Nagpur and Cuttack. After finishing the series, Rohit Sharma's India will fly to Dubai for the Champions Trophy 2025, which is set to begin on February 19. India will begin their campaign against Bangladesh on February 20.
