Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar passed away today (February 6, 2022). In such a situation, the whole country has been shocked by this news. Lata Mangeshkar Ji was also known for her soft nature, as soft as she looked from the outside, she was also soft-hearted. Lata Mangeshkar's heart was very big. There is a part of this when Lata Mangeshkar has also helped the BCCI to raise funds. At that time, the BCCI did not have enough money to reward its stalwart cricketers. In fact, this was the time when in the year 1983, India cricket team came on the field of India cricket to write its victory on golden letters and was brought to the country for the world cup. When Lata Mangeshkar got the news that Mother India's sons have returned after raising the glory of the country, she was very happy.

Lata Didi was very fond of cricket: In fact, Lata Mangeshkar has loved to watch cricket, so she has a special history for cricket and players in her mind. Swar Kokila was very fond of cricketer Raj Singh Dungarpur (who later became a manager) and was admired.

Lata Mangeshkar had helped BCCI: According to the biography of the late Ranji player by Samar Singh and Harsh Vardhan, former Union minister N.K.P. Salve had revealed that the time had come to reward the 1983 World Cup-winning team, but at that time the board did not have the money. According to Salve, who was the chairman of the Board of Control for Cricket in India from 1982-85, "At that time everyone was very upset. In such a situation, Raj Singh came up with the idea of raising money for this work. For this, he had also requested Lata Mangeshkar to do a concert in Delhi. In those days, the BCCI did not have funds."

Lata Mangeshkar has a big heart: Salve has said, "When this offer was made to Lataji, she agreed to it. In such a situation, Lata Ji helped the BCCI in raising the funds, so that every player of the winning team was rewarded with a prize of Rs 1 lakh, which was not a small amount in those days."
