The Indian head coach, Ravi Shastri’s famous “tracer bullet” phrase from his commentary days has inspired the Kerala police for a campaign in order to stop people from violating the Covid-19 lockdown. “Drone sightings during lockdown…,” the Kerala Police tweeted along with the video that has Ravi Shastri asking fellow-commentators to copy his “tracer bullet” commentary in the background.
India has been going through a lockdown until April 14 to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The Kerala Police decided to use a drone to find the people violating the lockdown protocols and the campaign has left many entertained on social media.

Shastri had used his same old famous phrase to ask his fans to stay at home during the ongoing crisis. Tweeting about the same, he wrote: “Stay indoors people. Crucial phase this. Only thing flying around the world like a tracer bullet is this bloody Corona (COVID-19). Stay in before the bugger gets you.”

Shastri had earlier called the forced break a “welcome rest” for the Indian cricketers amid the hectic schedule. He had said, “(This rest) cannot be a bad thing because towards the end of the New Zealand tour, you could see some cracks coming up when it came to mental fatigue, physical fitness and injuries. It has been tough but a welcome rest for players.”
