Earlier, Kaif had tweeted a video to urge people to practice social distancing by staying indoors in order to stop the deadly coronavirus.
"Stop the virus from scoring big. Be your own captain! Spread the field. Practice Social Distancing and remember our PM's advice," he had captioned the video.
India is in lockdown until April 14 to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Kaif was among the Indian cricketers who supported the 21-day lockdown that was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a bid to curb the spread of COVID-19.
The deadly virus has brought the sporting world to a standstill and all major events were either postponed or cancelled as a precautionary measure.
The Indian Premier League, Tokyo Olympics were postponed while Wimbledon was cancelled for the first time since World War II.
The coronavirus has affected more than 14 lakh people worldwide and it has taken over 84,000 lives globally.
