Top 10 most charitable cricketers of the world

10. Sachin Tendulkar

Perhaps, one of the greatest batsmen of all time, Sachin Tendulkar played the game for 24 years. No player has had such a long international career and the ups and downs have been quite a lot for Tendulkar. Hence, there’s a lot that the Mumbaikar has learnt throughout his career.

For quite some time now, Tendulkar has been a big believer in giving back to society. Every year, he takes responsibility of the education of more than 200 underprivileged children through Apnalaya, an NGO that is very close to his mother-in-law. Tendulkar has also helped a couple of villages undergo massive transformations in terms of electricity, water and sewage.

The master blaster helped the ‘Support My School’ campaign raise Rs 13.6 crore towards the revitalisation of 272 schools across India. He has also helped raise funds for more than 300 kids in their treatment of cancer.
