Gilchrist wants sixes for charity
Deccan Chargers captain Adam Gilchrist will be hoping that he can get a start to his mission at the Sahara Newlands Stadium on Wednesday to hit 25 sixes in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to help fund 25 modified bikes for children with disabilities.
Gilchrist, who failed to hit a six against Kolkata Night Riders on Sunday though his team registered their first win of the tournament, will try to do better against Bangalore Royal Challengers in the eighth game of the series which is being played out across South Africa.
Each time Gilchrist hits a six, a child with disabilities in his native Australia will receive the gift of wheels with a modified bike through Amway’s Freedom Wheels programme, which Amway runs in partnership with the Technical Aid to the Disabled (TAD).
