As the coronavirus cases are on the rise, the Indian government is taking major steps to curb the spread of the deadly virus which has infected more than 340 people in India. On Sunday (22nd March), Indian citizens followed the order of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of Janta Curfew. PM has also given one more example of two Indian cricketers Mohammad Kaif and Yuvraj Singh’s partnership to be followed by everyone to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
Former Indian cricketer Kaif and Yuvraj have registered some match-winning partnerships when needed by the team.
Well, the most memorable partnership of the duo came during the NatWest series between India and England in 2002 where the then two youngsters had given India a historic victory in the final at an iconic Lord’s.
PM Modi has advised everyone to follow the same partnership and fight the virus.
“Here are 2 excellent cricketers whose partnership we will remember forever. Now, as they have said, it is time for another partnership. This time, all of India will be partners in the fight against Coronavirus,” PM Modi tweeted.
