It is understood that she had already spent a large sum of Rs 16 lakh on her parents’ treatment who had both tested positive for the deadly virus.

Vidya said: “Honestly, I was amazed at his spontaneous gesture. Such a great gesture from such a great cricketer. I am also grateful to the Indian fielding coach R. Sridhar who also took up the issue with Kohli.”
