Indian limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma took the challenge issued to him by Yuvraj Singh during this time of lockdown. On Friday, Yuvraj Singh took to Twitter to challenge his ex-teammates in Rohit, Harbhajan Singh, Sachin Tendulkar in what is known as “#KeepItUp challenge”.

When given the task to Sachin to keep bouncing the ball at the side of the bat without hitting the ground, he nailed it. The batting maestro did that with a stunning twist. The batting legend took the task and did it blindfolded and in turn challenged the southpaw to do it in the same manner. This exciting piece of the challenge is mainly aimed at preventing the spread of coronavirus by staying indoors. It is a global health crisis which the entire world is battling with at the moment.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma performed it with incredible skill too. While staying at home, the 33-year old bounced the ball merely with the help of the handle of the bat. The Mumbai batsman took to Twitter and uploaded his video, thanking Yuvraj Singh for the nomination. Furthermore, he mentioned the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and Ajinkya Rahane to innovate and commit staying home by passing it on.

Rohit Sharma suffered an injury in his last international outing:

Meanwhile, if not for the current lockdown period, Rohit would have been captaining Mumbai Indians in the 13th season of the IPL. Under the right-handed batsman, Mumbai managed to win the tournament four times in the last six years. Coming to his stint with the national team, Rohit suffered an injury in the fifth T20 international in the tour of New Zealand at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.

Due to his calf-injury, he couldn’t take part in the ODI and Test series after that. India suffered a whitewash in both the formats after winning the T20Is by 5-0 in New Zealand. The home series against South Africa, comprising of three ODIs in March, was also suspended due to COVID-19.
