Last week, India captain Virat Kohli had shared an important video message on Instagram on the menace of domestic violence amid the nationwide lockdown.
Apart from the India captain, the video also features his wife and actor Anushka Sharma, India's limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma and former India women's captain Mithali Raj apart from a few Bollywood celebrities.
"If you have been a victim, witness or a survivor of the domestic violence, please report," Kohli captioned the video.
The country is in lockdown until May 3 to contain the spread of the coronavirus, which has brought the sporting world to a grinding halt. The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been postponed indefinitely, while India's home series against South Africa was called off amid the virus scare.
