The number of coronavirus patients is increasing with each passing day not just in the world but in India as well. If we talk about our country, the number of patients who have been found infected with COVID-19 has reached to 396 while 7 people have lost their lives due to this.
In order to fight coronavirus, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked the whole nation to support Janta Curfew on March 22 from 7am to 9pm and he also requested everyone to blow conch, ring bell or play sound with utensils at 5 pm for 5 minutes while standing at their gates or balcony for expressing gratitude towards those who are working hard to eradicate coronavirus completely.
The Janta Curfew was a huge success and it felt as if all the Indians came out to blow conch, ring bells, plates etc. for showing appreciation to the corona warriors.
Two IPL teams – Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC) took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and posted videos to thank the corona warriors.
In CSK’s video, skipper Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh, Murali Vijay and Kedar Jadhav were seen in celebration mode and the caption given by CSK read, “Let’s show our appreciation to all those toiling night and day to keep us all alive, literally. Come let’s #WhistlePoduAt5! #JantaCurfew 🦁💛”

However, there was a twist in this video as it has no sound. When an online user asked about the sound, the official Twitter handle asked them to make noise outside their door or balcony by tweeting, “This video has no sound, make all the noise outside your door/balcony! #WhistlePoduAt5 #COVID2019”

On the other hand, in the video of Delhi Capitals, many cricketers including Ishant Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, etc. were seen clapping and praising the efforts of those who are working day and night to make this world a safe place.
DC shared the video with caption, “Let us all come together and give a round of applause to the heroes who are working in this pandemic in keeping the world safe! It’s time to let your cheers, echo out loud 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 @narendramodi”
