Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma appreciate Delhi Police's efforts during the Coronavirus crisis

The coronavirus threat has been spreading havoc across India. There have been more than 7,000 cases already in the country. The numbers are only likely to increase in the upcoming days. The country is already going through a 21-day lockdown and it could be extended until the end of the April month.

In these desperate times, the Police departments across the country are trying their best to spread awareness about social distancing. Delhi Police, for instance, have been making sure that the citizens stay at home. There are more than 900 registered cases of COVID-19 patients already in the national capital.

The police department of Delhi, on Friday, uploaded messages from two of the iconic players who are spreading the message of social distancing across the city and also thanked them for their efforts.

I want to acknowledge efforts of Delhi Police, says Virat Kohli

India captain Virat Kohli, who hails from Delhi, was seen in one of the videos uploaded by Twitter handle of Delhi Police. In the 21-second video uploaded, Kohli appreciated the efforts of Delhi Police. “Heartening for me to know that the police service across the nation is helping so many people in these difficult times.

“I want to acknowledge the efforts of Delhi police who have not only performed their duties with absolute honesty but also taken food to the poor people on a daily basis, which is their utmost requirement. So, well done and keep putting in the same effort,” Kohli said in a video.

The caption of the post by the Delhi police was, “Thanking you @imVkohli for your kind words of encouragement and support. In this fight against #COVID19, we are leaving no stone unturned to protect our fellow citizens. #DelhiPoliceFightsCOVID @PMOIndia @HMOIndia @LtGovDelhi @CPDelhi”
