In a telling message to his followers, Gambhir said that launching the daily free kitcen is nothing short of winning a cricket World Cup of an IPL. Gambhir has won the IPL twice with Kolkata Knight Riders.

In April, Gambhir, had pledged to bear the full expenses of the children of 25 CRPF personnel killed in an ambush by Maoists in Chhattisgarh’s south Sukma area.

“On Wednesday morning, I picked up newspapers and saw gut-wrenching pictures of the daughters of two CRPF men killed in the latest attacks.

“One was saluting her martyred father while in the other picture, the howling young woman was being consoled by her relative,” Gambhir had written in his column for Hindustan Times.

To start a free community kitchen is one more example of the cricketer’s golden heart.
