Taking to his official Twitter handle, the 33-year-old posted a video of him taking Yuvraj's challenge of bouncing the ball with a bat at a time when all the cricketing activities across the world are at halt due to coronavirus pandemic.


However, Rohit took the challenge to all new level by juggling the ball using the handle of his bat.


The Indian opener also vowed to stay at home as long as it is required amid pandemic while also nominating Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and Ajinkya Rahane to take up the challenge.


"There you go @YUVSTRONG12! I’m committed to staying at home. I further nominate @ShreyasIyer15, @RishabhPant17 and @ajinkyarahane88 to innovate and commit to staying home," he tweeted.



Harbhajan, on the other hand, also took the challenge and further nominated Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan and former cricketers Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble for the same.


As coronavirus lockdown has put all the cricketing activities at halt including 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL), the players have switched to social media to keep their fans entertained these days. From sharing their day-to-day activities during lockdown to spreading awareness about COVID-19, the cricketers are making the most of this forced break.
