“I’ve played many do-or-die matches in my career. Won some. Lost some. But, this one is the most dangerous of all, the match against Coronavirus. We thought we were winning the first innings against Coronavirus, but it came back with a vengeance in the second innings,” said Kapil.
“No matter how dangerous the opposition is, we’ve got to be prepared and safe to win the match. Get ready to defeat Corona.”
The second wave of Covid-19 hit India recently and took millions of lives. The situation has died down but the experts have already predicted a third wave which is expected to be more deadly than the previous ones.
