The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli has not been able to entertain his fan with his breathtaking shots donning the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) jersey in the Indian Premier League (IPL), which he usually does with during this time of the year. It is the same for the artists in the country who are not getting the chance to mesmerize fans with their art due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But India cricket skipper and global icon Kohli has shared a message on his Twitter handle in support of #IForIndia, the concert for our times, where actors, musicians, singers, sportspersons and business leaders entertained from their homes in a bid to help the COVID-19 pandemic cause.

A message from #IForIndia, the concert for our times, read: “Two weeks ago, we started work on India’s biggest concert. To entertain people who are locked-down at home. To pay tribute to those who work on the frontlines while we work from home. And to raise funds for those who have no work and no home.”
