Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh recently came up with the 'Keep It Up' challenge as he committed to stay home as long as needed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which has brought life to a standstill all around the world. Over 4.5 million people have been infected by the virus, with more than 307,000 deaths. India has had almost 86,000 cases till now with 2752 people dead.
In the video, Yuvraj Singh kept bouncing the ball on the edge of his bat multiple number of times and challenged Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh and Rohit Sharma to do the same. Yuvraj tweeted, "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. I further nominate master blaster @sachin_rt hit man @ImRo45 and turbanator @harbhajan_singh @UN @deespeak"
Harbhajan Singh was the first to accept the challenge, which he completed with a miniature bat and a sponge ball, also leaving Yuvraj Singh in splits as he expected the 'Turbanator' to not do the tough thing of bouncing the ball on a cross bat.

Sachin Tendulkar has also responded to the challenge and he has done it with a twist, as he took it 'blindfolded'. Well almost, as the cloth he used on his eyes was transparent and he could see everything absolutely clearly.
Tendulkar wrote on Instagram, "I am challenging you back @yuvisofficial, but this time with a twist!!????????????♂️????
All I can ask everyone to do is take care and stay safe!"
Yuvraj Singh commented after watching Tendulkar's video and expressed his regret at challenging the wrong legend, but he said he will try to replicate the same.
