The entire world in an emergency situation with the widespread effects of COVID-19 that has forced a certain lockdown in most parts of the world. With people dying in huge numbers on a daily basis, most of the European countries have been experiencing a lockdown situation for nearly a month now. It was no surprise when the coronavirus even hit the India shores, forcing the government to take steep measures in order to somehow break the chain to elongate across the country.
As a result, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a 21-day lockdown period across the entire nation in order to curb the further spread of this deadly virus. His decision has received unwavering support from people of great stature from various walks of life. Indian cricketers including Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, and many others, have been quite vocal in suggesting people to follow the guidelines and norms suggested by the government in this period of crisis.
Ravichandran Ashwin’s cheeky appeal to the fellow Indians
Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has been highly active on Social media, suggesting people about the need to stay safe and indoors. In a recent tweet made by Ashwin, the off-spinner referred to one of his highly talked-about cricketing incident from IPL 2019. Exactly a year ago, Ashwin, the captain of Kings XI Punjab in 2019, was involved in a Mankad-ing incident in Punjab’s season opener against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.
In that match, Ashwin ran out Jos Buttler while the latter was trying to gain an advantage by leaving his crease even before the ball was delivered at the non-striker’s end. Referring to the same incident, Ashwin suggested his followers not wander out for any reason and stay home in order to fight this pandemic.
It was clear that Ashwin insisted upon the need to know your boundaries and maintain the lockdown situation for better lives ahead. For Indians and people around the globe, it becomes highly necessary to abide by the guidelines and not act foolishly if we are to surpass this pandemic.
Here’s what Ashwin tweeted:
Hahaha, somebody sent me this and told me it’s exactly been 1 year since this run out happened.
As the nation goes into a lockdown, this is a good reminder to my citizens.
Don’t wander out. Stay inside, stay safe! #21DayLockdown pic.twitter.com/bSN1454kFt
