India's star keeper-batter KL Rahul has come up with a noble cause for underprivileged children, as he and his wife Athiya Shetty are all set to conduct an auction where  legendary cricketers' collectables will go under the hammer on August 23. 

The couple has joined hands with the likes of Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and others to auction off their memorabilia to support the Vipla Foundation which was earlier known as 'Save The Children India' for their special needs school in BKC, Mumbai.

The couple has brought together names like Rahul Dravid, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shreyas Iyer, Yuzvendra Chahal, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Ravindra Jadeja and Lucknow Super Giants, along with international players; Jos Buttler, Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran for this cause.

KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty took to Twitter to announce the noble cause for underprivileged children. 

KL Rahul Comments on Vipla Foundation

KL Rahul said, “My first visit to the school was very emotional and the children inspired me to contribute in whatever way I could to this great initiative that Athiya’s family has been part of. The auction is our way of supporting the incredible work that the Vipla Foundation does in providing a great learning environment to children. When I reached out to the cricket fraternity, they were just as supportive in donating their precious cricket items for this great cause. By participating in the auction and bidding for the memorabilia, each bidder is joining us in making a difference in the lives of these truly special children.”

At present, KL Rahul is in Sri Lanka for the ongoing three-match ODI series against the Island Nation. The first ODI resulted in a tied game after India failed to chase one run with two wickets in hand.
