"As you all know, Covid cases are on the rise in India again. If you're venturing out for essential services, please wear a mask. Please maintain social distancing," Kohli said in Hindi in the video.

"Please keep sanitising your hands. Taking these precautions is very necessary," he added.

Notably, India has witnessed a huge spike in the number of new coronavirus cases being reported on a daily basis and lockdown has been imposed in several parts of the country to curb down the massive spike in the number of fresh cases.

It is worth mentioning that, Delhi is the worst-hit city in India with 25,500 fresh cases on Sunday and almost one-third of those tested returning positive. In the last 24 hours, the number of cases remains high despite a dip — 23,500.

Meanwhile, Kohli and Co. had landed in Mumbai today (April 20) after completing Chennai-leg. They will now play their next two games at the Wankhede stadium.

Interestingly, RCB are the only undefeated team in the IPL thus far. They have won all three of their games in the tournament and sit atop the points table with six points.

The Kohli-led side will be seen in action next on Thursday when they take on Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium.
