Pandya brothers, Hardik and Krunal, have urged everyone to stay at home to contain the spread of Coronavirus in the country.

As of March 30, the COVID-19 outbreak has claimed more than 33,000 lives and infected over 723,000 people globally. In India, around 1100 confirmed cases have been reported while 29 people have lost their lives thus far.

Taking to Twitter, Krunal uploaded a video in which he and Hardik can be seen playing indoor cricket amid the lockdown.

"Stay safe everyone. Avoid going out, you can have fun indoors as well just like me and my family had. We urge everyone to observe lockdown and stop the spread of the Coronavirus," Pandya brothers said.

The deadly virus has also brought cricket to a grinding halt as all the series and tournaments have been either cancelled or rescheduled.

Earlier this month, IPL 2020 was rescheduled from March 29 to April 15 due to the epidemic but following the announcement of nationwide 21-day lockdown by the Indian government last week, the cancellation of cash-rich event now looks inevitable.
