We should help each other in whatever way we can: Jaydev Unadkat

Jaydev Unadkat understands that with the country going through testing times, the cricketers are privileged to play and entertain the people. The Porbandar-born cricketer is aware of what transpires seeing their dear ones fighting for lives and refused to debate about whether it’s right to play cricket now. Unadkat advised people to help in howsoever they could and urged people to get vaccinated along with taking precautions.

“Our country is going through a lot of distress and for that matter, I know how privilege we are in this position to play cricket. I also know how painful a personal loss can be and worrying it can be to witness your close ones fighting for their lives. I am not saying its right or wrong to play cricket at this moment. But honestly, it’s difficult to stay away from family in this situation. We should help each other in whatever way we can, I am contributing my part as well. Please get vaccinated whenever you can. Take care and stay safe everyone,” Unadkat said in the video uploaded on Twitter.
