Patiala(The Uttam Hindu): A blood donation camp was organized today by the Dhruv Pandove Cricket Trust in memory of the great cricketer Dhruv Pandove. 167 players and citizens participated in this noble cause by donating blood.

The Dhruv Pandove Cricket Trust was established in memory of young cricketer Dhruv Pandove, who passed away in a road accident near Ambala on January 30, 1992. At the young age of 14, he played in the Ranji Trophy for Punjab and held the record for being the youngest player to score a century and complete 1,000 first-class runs.
