Recently, in the ongoing lockdown period due to the coronavirus outbreak, the former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh started a special “KeepItUp” challenge, where he nominated his three former close national teammates. The legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who was one of those three nominated cricketers, came with a strong reply and challenged back to Yuvraj by adding a tricky twist.
The novel COVID-19 or coronavirus has forced the world to press the pause button in the daily busy routine. In this period, while many countries are facing the lockdown period, some sports players are coming up with some unique lockdown challenges, mostly related to their respective games.
Similarly, Yuvraj Singh has come out with the “KeepItUp” challenge. In this challenge, the participant has to bounce the ball in the air continuously by using the edge of the cricket bat. Also, the participant needs to make sure that the ball doesn’t fall on the ground. Uploading that video on his Twitter account, Yuvraj nominated Sachin Tendulkar, veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and the present limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma to take up that challenge.
In these challenging times, I am committed to staying at home to prevent the spread of #Covid19 and will #KeepItUp as long as it is required.

Sachin Tendulkar revealed the trick to handle his twist
The most run-scorer in international cricket history, Sachin Tendulkar recently replied on that challenge. The 47-year-old Tendulkar not only took up that challenge successfully, but he also added a special twist on that and challenged back Yuvraj. During that challenge, Tendulkar used a black cloth to cover up his eyes. Later, in that video, Tendulkar also revealed his trick how he was successful despite the blindfold.
