Good on Yuvraj Singh for encouraging people to keep spirits (and balls) up while in lockdown...

In these challenging times, I am committed to staying at home to prevent the spread of #Covid19 and will #KeepItUp as long as it is required.

I further nominate master blaster @sachin_rt hit man @ImRo45 and turbanator @harbhajan_singh @UN @deespeak pic.twitter.com/20OmrHt9zv

Being stuck at home has made people do things they might not have otherwise. Like gardening. Sure, not everyone has the space to go green, but Thisara Perera does, and not only does he look pleased with his handiwork, he wants his team-mates to join the fun too.

what you plant today, you will harvest tomorrow

What do you do if, after several days of lockdown, you wake up to find your usually carefully groomed hair has been reduced to unruly locks that keep getting in your eyes? Well, you ask your partner to give you a trim, of course. Such was the case, it seems, at the Kohli-Sharma household.

So the ICC sent out a tweet about players with the best pull shots and there was someone they kinda missed. That someone saw the tweet and totally gave in to his FOMO.

Someone's missing here ?? Not easy to work from home I guess https://t.co/sbonEva7AM

He's still got it - the fleet feet, the magic hands… just maybe not the same height on liftoff. Jonty Rhodes himself is not impressed.

The reality of being 50 - usually if I was in #clickoftheday I would be flying through the air https://t.co/yJctc3tV5t
