Three Indian items feature in a silent auction being conducted by The Chappell Foundation (TCF), which aids homeless people Down Under. Winning bids from a silent auction (electronically conveyed bids) for a bat signed by the 2024-25 touring Indian team, opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal’s willow and India stumper Rishabh Pant’s 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy helmet, will be announced at the TCF’s annual dinner in Sydney on Wednesday. 

In the Annual Dinner Program, TCF praised Jaiswal by saying, “Yashasvi Jaiswal debuted with a century against the West Indies. In his first Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in 2024-25, he dominated with 161 in Perth, hit two Melbourne half-centuries and led India’s aggregates with 391 runs at 43.44. We’ll see much more of the young superstar who has donated us his signed bat.”
