Kolkata, Apr 28 (IBNS): Indian cricketer and skipper of the Indian Premier League based franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, Gautam Gambhir has pledged to educate the children of the CRPF martyrs, who recently lost their lives in the hands of Maoists in Sukma, Chhattisgarh.

"The Gautam Gambhir Foundation will take care of the entire education expenses of the children of these martyrs," the KKR skipper's tweet read.

The KKR side was spotted wearing a black arm band in their recent fixture with the Rising Pune Supergiant, mourning the loss.

Gambhir, who has been vocal about the killings of Jawans, also added, "The quantum of losing a dear one while serving the country can never ever be compared to losing a cricket match."

Earlier the southpaw had tweeted, "As we crib over lack of air conditioning or size of our already mammoth SUV, let's ponder over d future of d daughters of CRPF martyrs."

"25 CRPF men sacrificed lives for d country. Sometimes I wonder if we deserve their sacrifice!!!," an ensuing tweet added.
