Talking about the same, Rahul, who recently celebrated his 28th birthday, said: "Since it's a special day for me, me and Gully have decided to something very sweet and something very special.

"I have decided to donate my cricket pads, my gloves, helmets and some of my jerseys to our collaboration partner Bharat Army. They are going to auction these things out and the funds will go towards the Aware Foundation.

"It's a foundation that look towards helping children. It is very special and I couldn't pick a better day to do this."

He also regularly takes on social media to support charitable organisations. The 28-year-old has also voiced his support for Phool Versha, a charitable organisation feeding impoverished members of society amidst the lock down.
