WATCH: Ishant Sharma recreates outdoor cricket at home; teammates react to it hilariously

Ishant is currently spending time at home amid COVID-19 lockdown.

Just like every other professional cricketer, India fast bowler Ishant Sharma is currently spending time at home in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, which has brought the entire world to a practical standstill.

Considering the rapidly growing COVID-19 cases in the country, Indian government on Tuesday (April 14) extended the nationwide lockdown till May 3.

Amid the lockdown, Ishant on Wednesday (April 15) found a way to beat the boredom. The pacer recreated an outdoor sports scene inside his house as he donned helmet, gloves and ended by playing book cricket.

Ishant also asked his fans to participate in this challenge.

It's been a while since I've been on the field and now I'm missing it more than ever. So when Rohan Joshi challenged me for the #5StarDoNothingOutside challenge I wanted to show everyone what’s closest to my heart but with a twist. If you think you recreate an outdoor sport at home in a fun, hilarious manner participate in the #5StarDoNothingOutside challenge and win exciting gifts and grocery vouchers worth Rs 10,000. @cadbury5star_india

Apart from the fans, Ishant Sharma’s hilarious video also left his Indian teammates in splits as the likes of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul posted funny comments.

Ishant Sharma was supposed to play for Delhi Capitals in the 13th edition of IPL. But with the COVID-19 lockdown being extended for two more weeks, it is unlikely the cash-rich event will be organised anytime soon.
