Top 10 most charitable cricketers of the world
These are just 10 of them but there may be other ones who are putting in an effort to contribute to charity as well.
9. Muttiah Muralitharan
800 wickets in Test cricket, 534 in ODI cricket and 18 in T20Is, we have only seen Muttiah Muralitharan bamboozle batsmen and pick wickets in his career. No other bowler has more wickets than him in either Tests or ODIs or international cricket on the whole. Hence, Muralitharan finished as statistically the best bowler to have ever played the game.
However, the former Sri Lankan spin wizard has also contributed and did his part by contributing and giving back to society. Right from his playing days, he was involved in charity. He established Foundation of Goodness in a village named Seenigama in the early 2000s. The foundation helps people in education, health care, housing, livelihood and other related things.
When the tsunami hit the shores of Sri Lanka, Muralitharan did his best to help people. He helped people get food regularly. He is also an ambassador for the United Nations’ World Food Programme.
