IPL in UAE: Gift of sight — Chennai Super Kings’ Ravindra Jadeja’s wife donates eyes
‘I cannot feel the pain of a blind person. But if I can help, it will be an honour’
Chennai Super Kings’ Ravindra Jadeja’s wife Rivaba has offered a helping hand to the visually impaired on her birthday by saying she will donate her eyes after her death.
“With God’s grace, I have every essential organ that a human body needs and may be that’s why I cannot feel the pain of a blind person. But if in any way I can help them, it will be an honour for me,” she said.
