New Delhi: Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir is well known for his charity work. The Kolkata Knight Riders showed his charitable side yet again, as he took to the streets to offer meals to homeless people, in Delhi.

The opening batsman, through his charitable trust, the Gautam Gambhir Foundation, started an initiative to feed the poor.

The southpaw, who has played 58 Tests, 147 ODIs, and 37 T20Is for India, took to Twitter to share his experience of the charitable work. Gambhir tweeted, “Compassion in my heart, a plate in my hand & a prayer on my lips ‘No one should sleep hungry’.”

Gambhir’s tweets caught the eye of Bollywood superstar and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) co-owner Shah Rukh Khan, who immediately offered his aid. “Let me know my Captain how I can be of use to ur initiative. Bless u.” SRK tweeted.

Interestingly, Gambhir had previously shown his generous side, offering financial aid to children of all 25 CRPF personnel who were killed by Maoists in the Sukma attacks in Chhattisgarh.
