The dreaded Coronavirus has made the whole world its victim. Due to the epidemic, the entire world faced a lockdown-like situation for several months. With the government giving some relaxations in the lockdown, life has started once again, but has not been the same ever since. Even now people are forced to live with many restrictions.

Like the rest of the sectors, the effect of Coronavirus was seen on the sports as well. For a long time, players of almost every sport remained imprisoned in their houses, but then gradually everything started returning back to the track.
Like every other sport, cricket started again after several months, but with many rules and restrictions.
Cricket returned, but with ban on the use of saliva. After this, bowlers can no longer use saliva to shine the ball. There was a lot of debate about this issue, but it seems India's Mayank Agarwal has decided to solve it on the cricketing field itself.
In the fourth and final Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy being played between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane, team India's batsman Mayank Agarwal showed the modern, 'non-controversial' technique to shine the ball.
When Shardul Thakur was going to complete his over, Mayank Agarwal rubbed the ball using sweat on Shardul's forearm to shine the ball. Cricket.com has shared this funny video from its official Twitter handle.
