The noble thought among the cricketing fraternity was initiated by Kohli.
“Maharashtra Police has stood by citizens through calamities, attacks & disasters. Today as they lead the war against Corona on the streets, I’ve decided to celebrate them by changing my DP here on Twitter to the Maharashtra Police logo. Join me in this endeavour,” Kohli had said on Sunday.
Following Kohli, veteran pacer Zaheer Khan tweeted: “Maharashtra Police has stood by citizens through calamities, attacks & disasters. Today as they lead the war on Corona on the streets, I’ve decided to celebrate them by changing my DP on Twitter to the Maharashtra Police logo. Join me in this endeavour.”
Notably, Maharashtra is the worst affected state in the country with more than 20,000 cases and over 700 deaths so far. The infected ones include close to 800 police personnel who have become the victim of the dreaded virus while helping the people battle COVID-19.
