New Delhi: India wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant on Monday urged people to support Delhi Police and abide by the guidelines of the central government to overcome the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Citing cricket example, Pant said dropping a catch or stumping chance can change the direction of the game, in the same way, our one mistake will affect the fight against Coronavirus.
“Let’s support Delhi Police and adhere to the guidelines of Government of India. Stay at home, step outside only for essential items and follow social distancing. We can win this fight only if we are in this together,” Pant said in a video posted by Delhi Police on Twitter.
'एक छोटा सा मिस्टेक हुआ, कैच या स्टंपिंग छूटा, तो मैच का डायरेक्शन ही बदल जाता है। ठीक इसी तरह, हमारी एक छोटी सी गलती, कोरोना और देश की इस लड़ाई में, हार और जीत का फ़र्क बन सकती है'..@RishabhPant17 की ये सीधी, सरल बातें, आप को ज़रूर सचेत करेंगी।@HMOIndia @LtGovDelhi @CPDelhi pic.twitter.com/Fo73CyMlV2
