Mumbai: Indian cricket team’s head coach Ravi Shastri on Wednesday urged people to stay home and defeat coronovirus by incorporating social discrimination.

He called the virus the ‘mother of all World Cups’ and asked people to fight against the disease and win the World Cup of Humanity.

“As I would know, sports teach you life lessons that you can apply just about anything to carry on for the rest of your life. Today the COVID-19 has put us in a situation where we got our backs to the wall. To combat this coronavirus is like chasing a World Cup where you give your everything in trying to win it. What’s staring you at the face is no ordinary World Cup. This is the mother of all World Cups where not just eleven are playing but 1.4 billion are in the playing arena and competing. Guys, we can win this. For that, we have to observe the basics. You have got your Prime Minister leading from the front ahead of the curve like other countries have farmed out,” Shastri said.

“You have to follow the orders that come from above: whether it is the Center, the state or the border workers who are risking their lives. Two orders that stand out: staying home and engaging in social disturbances. Winning the game is not easy. You go through the pain to break the chain and see the profit. Come on, guys! We do it together. Let us get out there on the force of 1.4 billion and I Corona are beating and your hands Jamaat World Cup. Humanity. Let’s do it, “he said.
