New Delhi: One of the most intense rivalries in international cricket is between the teams of India and Pakistan due to bitter diplomatic relationship. However, two former players of the Indian cricket team nation - Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh - have set an example on how important it is, even for rivals to unite and help one another in such testing times as the entire world together battles the deadly COVID-19.  

Yuvraj Singh took to Twitter to extend his support to former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi to help those in need.

Taking to Twitter, Yuvraj wrote: "These are testing times, it's time to lookout for each other specially the ones who are lesser fortunate. Lets do our bit, I am supporting @SAfridiOfficial & @SAFoundationN in this noble initiative of covid19. Pls donate on donatekarona.com #StayHome @harbhajan_singh"


Harbhajan Singh had earlier praised Afridi for donating disinfectant soap, material and food to the needy.

Harbhajan praised Afridi's gesture and said: "Great work for humanity Shahid Afridi. May god bless us all... more power to you... praying for world's wellbeing -- Nanak naam chardikala tere bhaane sarbat da bhala."


Former Pakistan skipper Waqar Younis thanked his doctor wife and the rest from the fraternity for being the real heroes.

Taking to Twitter, Waqar wrote: "Scary feeling when @DrFaryalWaqar leaves for the hospital in the morning but also very Satisfied when she returns.. I can PROUDLY say my wife is a HERO.. Keep fighting girl??#EmergencyPhysician #Corvid_19."
