Team India opener Shikhar Dhawan has now stepped forward and announced that he will be donating money to the families of the 40 CRPF paramilitary troopers who were killed in a terror attack and asked the users to do the same.

Former Indian opener, Virender Sehwag too came forward to bear the educational expenses of children of all the CRPF jawans in the terrorist attack in Pulwama.
