In a video shared by UNICEF Australia and Cricket Australia, various Australian cricketers both male and female are seen appealing to the general public to send help to India which is being hammered by the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

India has reported more than 400,000 cases daily for the last 10 days or so and lost more than 4000 people every day due to the Coronavirus pandemic. This has led to a shortage of healthcare facilities all over India including oxygen cylinders, vaccines, lifesaving medicines, and ICU beds.
