Jagmohan Dalmiya's eyes donated to Vanmukta Eye Bank in Kolkata
Kolkata, Set 21 (IBNS): As per the wishes of former ICC president and chief of the BCCI Jagmohan Dalmiya, who died on Sunday evening in a private hospital here, his eyes have been donated to Vanmukta Eye Bank, a part of Susrut Eye Foundation and Research Centre, Kolkata.

The themes were widely known as 'Cricket for Life beyond Death' and 'Chance of Second Innings'," an official statement said.
