Recently, Virat and his wife Anushka Sharma contributed Rs 5 lakh each towards Mumbai Police welfare. Taking to Twitter, Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh wrote: "Thank you, @imVkohli and @AnushkaSharma for contributing Rs 5 lacs each towards the welfare of Mumbai Police personnel. Your contribution will safeguard those at the frontline in the fight against Coronavirus. #MumbaiPoliceFoundation." Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 has been postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus outbreak. A few days back, in an interview, Virat Said ricket would be played with great intensity even behind closed doors amid COVID-19 pandemic. However, he said it will be difficult to have the same magical moments without fans in empty stadiums. "It's quite a possible situation, it might happen, I honestly don't know how everyone is going to take that because we all are used to playing in front of so many passionate fans," said Kohli while speaking on Star Sports 'Cricket Connected' show.
