#OnTheUp: What the cricket world is doing in quarantine
It is important, especially for athletes, to stay fit even from the confines of home. Lack of equipment shouldn't be a problem, as Azhar Ali will demonstrate.

David Warner's training included some catching practice and he even had a keen spectator.
The enforced cricket break has given players an opportunity to catch up on precious family time.
The beginning of all things – wonder, hope, possibilities and a better world! We are proud to welcome our son & Gracia’s little brother - Rio Raina. May he flows beyond boundaries, bringing peace, renewal & prosperity to everyone’s life. pic.twitter.com/SLR9FPutdx

Not just the cricketers, but the fans too, found a way to remain close to cricket!
Just because you're doing the right thing and socially isolating, doesn't mean you can't get your cricket fix!#LoveCricket #IsolationCricket pic.twitter.com/2RAdvPfU7s

Good time to expand your social media repertoire!
I’ve fell down the TikTok rabbit hole 🤦🏾♂️

Social media is always a good way to pass time and our Isolation Game yielded some interesting match ups.

And did you try to find out your quarantine partner? Some cricketers did.

Fun and games aside, the overarching message remains the same. Stay home and stay safe and we can overcome this!
Hope everyone is safe and sound around the world. I humbly request ALL to stay home. Let's smash the #coronavirus out of the park. But we can only do it together. #StayHome and #StaySafe!

As the nation goes into a lockdown, this is a good reminder to my citizens.
Don't wander out. Stay inside, stay safe! #21DayLockdown pic.twitter.com/bSN1454kFt
Today India came together even while staying in our homes.

While we are at home there are many who are selflessly performing their duties.
Thank you to each one of you for putting us before yourself.
The discipline & commitment we showed today needs to continue.#JantaCurfew pic.twitter.com/Cda4z9L4R7

2. Wear a mask when going out
3. Keep min 1 meter distance between persons in public transport, queues & when shopping
4. Don’t touch your face
5. Wash your hands thoroughly & shower when your return home. Discipline please🙏🏻
Difficult times for the World. Please stay safe and avoid going out unless it is absolutely necessary. We all must help each other in times like these #CoronvaVirus
