Test great Rahul Dravid was one of the cleanest pair of hands during his time. He would make life difficult for the opposition by not allowing them to take his wicket easily.

Taking a leaf out of Rahul Dravid’s book, a thread went popular on Twitter, explaining how to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

Social distancing, in the times of coronavirus, is the best precautionary method to stop the pandemic from spreading. In reference to that, Sagar in the thread, uses a picture of Rahul Dravid leaving a ball as he captioned it, “The best way to avoid danger is to keep a distance”.

In the next picture, Rahul Dravid, is seen diving to right to complete a catch which is matched up with a perfect caption which can come as a precaution for coronavirus. “It’s important to have a clean and safe pair of hands”.

The next picture is from India’s historic fightback against Australia at the Eden Garden in 2001, which recently celebrated its anniversary. Sagar uses a picture of VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid who remained unbeaten throughout the day to forge 335-run stand. He captioned it as, “Don’t Panic. You can overcome the worst of the situations with patience”.

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV), according to report in World Health Organisation (WHO).

COVID-19 is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans.

Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.  Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
