Pant saw the campaign and decided to contribute a significant amount towards Maurya's goal, showcasing his willingness to help those in need. This noble act by Pant has garnered praise and admiration from fans and followers, highlighting his compassionate nature beyond the cricket field.

Your support can change my life. Please consider helping or sharing my campaign. Your kindness would mean everything to me".

Kartikey Maurya, in his fundraiser, mentioned that he was working to fund his studies through a part-time job as an SEO (search engine optimisation) specialist. However, life took an unexpected turn and for the past few months, he has been struggling to find stable employment, and his savings have dwindled, according to his post.
