The entire world is struggling with the corona virus epidemic. People all over the world are troubled due to this epidemic. The most troubled are the poor people, who have now found it difficult to arrange even food. Cricketers always come forward to help such people. Recently, former South African captain and star batsman Faf du Plessis has auctioned his new bat and new jersey to help the people.

Du Plessis wants to raise food for poor children from this auction. He has auctioned his new IXU bat and number 18 pink jersey. Faf du Plessis was nominated by his former teammate AB de Villiers to do so. Duplessis accepted de Villiers' challenge.

Du Plessis posted this information on his Instagram account. Sharing a photo of the jersey and bat, he wrote, 'I have accepted this challenge after being nominated by AB de Villiers. The entire amount of this auction will be given to the project that I launched with Hilsang Africa Foundation. The project aims to raise up to 500,000 rand which will be used to feed the underprivileged children of the local community. Any kind of donation will be to help these children. '

Faf du Plessis is often seen doing charity work like this. Along with him, his wife is also very active in such works. Duplessis' wife, Imari Visser, raised money to feed 35,000 children some time ago. Apart from this, Indian cricketers are also very active in such works. Sometime back, India's star batsman KL Rahul had auctioned his complete cricket kit with his 2019 World Cup bat to help poor people.

Indian captain Virat Kohli and former South African batsman AB de Villiers had also auctioned their 2016 IPL century scoring bats and some other things. These bats were very special for both the players. Both batsmen scored centuries with these bats in the same match. This move of both batsmen was praised in the whole world cricket.
