New Delhi: Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya who was on his road back to the national team after recovering well from his back surgery and showing some of his vintage class with the willow in a premier domestic T20 tournament at Mumbai will have to wait a bit longer amid all cricketing events getting cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, the COVID-19 induced lockdown has not dented the spirits of the lively Pandya as the star all-rounder is leaving no stone upturned to keep his fitness levels intact during time off the green turf. In a video which he shared on his Twitter account, Hardik was seen doing shoulder and leg exercises. "Quaran-training. Don't forget about your personal fitness during the quarantine. Stay fit, stay healthy," Hardik said in a tweet.

Hardik and his brother Krunal have very much remained connected to the sport they love by turning their drawing room into a stadium to play a game of indoor cricket. Taking to Twitter, the Pandya brothers posted a video and said: "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." While the BCCI is confident that they can pull off the IPL even if it starts from the first week of May, an important area of concern will be the entry of the foreign players as visa restrictions need to be removed first. It is now looking at the October-November window. The Sports Ministry has made it clear that the fate of the 13th edition of the IPL can be decided only after the government comes out with a fresh advisory after April 15, keeping in mind the situation with regards to the coronavirus outbreak. In the last 24 hours, India has reported 386 COVID-19 cases, which is the biggest single-day jump. Over 1,600 confirmed cases of coronavirus have been reported till now in the country and 38 people have already lost their lives.
