The lockdown in the country and almost all around the globe due to the outbreak of the coronavirus has forced the sports to go on a standstill. A number of tournaments have either been postponed or have been canceled.
The cricketers around the world have picked new methods to deal with this situation. While India skipper Virat Kohli and wife Anushka Sharma have urged the people to stay inside their homes and be safe, opener Shikhar Dhawan is busy with domestic chores.

Off-spinner R Ashwin took a different way of spreading awareness. The off-spinner posted the picture of him mankading Jos Buttler in one of the IPL matches between KXIP and RR. Don’t wander out. Stay inside, stay safe,” Ashwin tweeted.
Hahaha, somebody sent me this and told me it’s exactly been 1 year since this run out happened.
