Amid the ever-throwing threat of the coronavirus pandemic that has brought the world to a standstill, veteran Ranji player, Sheldon Jackson on Wednesday did his bit by taking to the streets and helping the needy by feeding them. Following the 21-day lockdown in India, citizens are still wandering on the streets in order to reach their village as they have no work and are finding themselves stranded with no food and shelter.
Wearing a mask, Sheldon Jackson took to his social media handles and shared a video with his fans where he is on the road, helping citizens. Captioning the video, he wrote, “It takes grace to remain kind, in cruel situations.”
