IPL 2021: CSK's Ravindra Jadeja urges people to follow protocols to defeat COVID

Chennai Super Kings' star and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has urged the people of India to look after each other and follow the COVID protocols as India is battling hard against COVID-19. Chennai Super Kings shared a video of Ravindra Jadeja on its Twitter handle in which Jadeja urged the people to wear face masks and look after family members. 

"Please stay home and stay safe. Also, keep your family members safe because in these tough times we have to come together and fight the battle against COVID-19. So please wear your mask and sanitise your hands regularly. And, please help those around you. Ask them if they need help because sometimes, some people tend to hesitate while seeking any kind of help or support. So please ask them upfront if they require any kind of support or help. Only if we stand together in these tough times we'll be able to win against the pandemic," said Jadeja. 

It is to be noted that BCCI and the IPL Governing Council postponed the IPL 2021 after COVID-19 infiltrated the secure bio-bubble of various IPL teams. The massive decision came after KKR players Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier, as well as CSK team 2021 CEO Kasi Viswanathan, bowling coach Lakshimpathy Balaji and a bus cleaner tested positive for COVID-19. Now, in a major development, Chennai Super Kings' batting coach Michael Hussey has been tested positive for COVID-19.
